Patient's question:
There has been a continuous crack in the foreskin, and this time the episode is particularly severe. Previously, it was possible to retract the foreskin and clean the smegma inside. This time, the foreskin is swollen, the wound is deep, and there is a discharge. Over the past few days, I have been using potassium permanganate solution (1:5000) to clean the surface, but the wound has not healed, nor has the swelling subsided. About an hour after cleaning, there is a sensation of itching. I change my underwear daily, and each time there is a yellowish discharge.If I don’t undergo circumcision, what kind of anti-inflammatory medication would be suitable to take orally, or is there an external antibiotic ointment that could help?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is better to use potassium permanganate solution for Sitz baths. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and have regular follow-up examinations. In addition to symptomatic treatment for phimosis, patients need to consult experts for advice and maintain communication with their doctors. Patients should also pay attention to nursing aspects, such as a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should choose a professional hospital for diagnosis and treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
