Patient's question:
My foreskin is a bit long, and I usually have sexual intercourse. I don't pay much attention to personal hygiene. Now, the head of my penis is a bit inflamed, itchy, and accompanied by a sense of pain. Because of embarrassment, I don't want to go to the hospital for treatment, so I want to buy some medicine to treat it myself.Doctor's answer:
Western medical treatment for balanoposthitis: Repeated inflammation due to phimosis and excessive prepuce often leads to urethral stricture, causing difficulty in urination. It is also a major factor in the development of penile cancer. For phimosis, circumcision should be performed early.1. Soak the penis in a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution once every 1-6 times, with each session lasting 30 minutes.
2. Use antibiotics.
3. If drainage is poor, a longitudinal incision on the back of the prepuce can be made.
4. For allergic balanoposthitis, discontinue the allergenic medication, apply corticosteroid ointment locally, and take antihistamines.
Men suffering from urological conditions can, while understanding the need for symptomatic treatment, also use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment. In daily life, it is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness and never overeat or binge drink.
