Patient's question:
Last night, I ate some Northeast black fungus. At night, my underwear and penis were a bit itchy. I asked the doctor.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it may be a symptom of balanitis. First, it is necessary to maintain local cleanliness and dryness. You can use saline solution or potassium permanganate solution for local cleaning. Generally, it is necessary to retract the foreskin if it is too long for cleaning. If there is a condition of phimosis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment to avoid recurrent episodes. Recovery usually takes about 2 weeks.Advice: It is recommended to clean the foreskin and glans frequently to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If phimosis or paraphimosis is present, circumcision should be performed. In daily life, a light diet should be followed, and spicy and irritating foods should be avoided.
