Patient's question:
A doctor has a question they want to consult you about. I am from Jiangxi and work as a temporary worker in Xiamen. I have been working in factories and leaving work every day. Since we do high-temperature work, I have developed balanitis in this long-term working environment. Now, I don't know what to do?Doctor's answer:
Medication Treatment for Balanoposthitis1. Maintain local cleanliness to prevent secondary infection;
2. For exudative and purulent discharge, use 3% boric acid solution or 0.1% Ringer's lactate for wet compresses;
3. Corticosteroid creams can be used in non-infectious subacute stages;
4. In chronic stages or during dry scaling, tetracycline and cortisol ointment can be applied;
5. For obvious infection with fever and swollen lymph nodes, systemic antibiotics such as cephalexin 0.5g orally 3–4 times/day or ofloxacin 0.2g twice daily may be used;
6. For patients with excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed after the inflammation subsides to help you. The condition of male reproductive diseases can be severe, so it is recommended that patients seek timely treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care training, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
