Patient's question:
I have been suffering from balanitis and have not recovered yet. Previously, I took roxithromycin. Recently, I applied Daktar. Is the medication incorrect? Due to face-related issues, I am unwilling to go to the hospital. I am also wondering if having non-stop sexual contact with the opposite sex might be a reason for the recurrence. Could you help me check if my previous medication was correct? How should I treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Itching of the glans, along with discharge, is likely caused by a vaginal infection. Active treatment is necessary. It is recommended to take oral roxithromycin while also cleaning with potassium permanganate solution. It is advisable to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed. For severe conditions, it is recommended to seek treatment at a local, reputable, Grade III-A hospital.
