Patient's question:
I went to the urology department of the hospital two months ago for balanitis, and it was diagnosed. It keeps recurring and hasn't been completely cured. I change my underwear every two days, haven't had any sexual activity, and use povidone-iodine to sterilize at night. I also took a few days of cephalexin. What else should I do for treatment? There are red spots on my glans, but it doesn't hurt at all. My scrotum itches. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, there are red spots on the glans and it is painful, which may be considered as balanitis or bacterial infection. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis based on the examination results. Currently, you can use a cleaning solution to clean and apply topical medication. If it is caused by phimosis, surgical circumcision can be considered. Specifically, it is best to go to a Grade A hospital in your local area for examination and diagnosis based on the examination results.
