Patient's question:
I had a circumcision surgery in Shenyang two years ago. The doctor said it would be fine after the procedure. He mentioned that anaerobic bacteria can be killed with oxygen. However, it hasn't healed yet, and now I have one ulcer and one red spot. After having sex with my wife, he said he has itching in the external genital area. Now, even when I get an erection, my head of the penis isn't hard. Is it caused by balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
Consider it to be symptoms of balanitis. The common causes of balanitis are bacterial infections due to local uncleanliness, or a weakened immune system, and fungal balanitis caused by sexual transmission. For bacterial balanitis, potassium permanganate solution can be used for cleaning, and Bactroban ointment can be applied externally for treatment. Fungal balanitis requires cleaning with sodium bicarbonate solution and applying Daktarin ointment externally for treatment. Pay attention to avoiding unclean sexual activity. If there is sexual activity, the female partner should also be examined and treated.
