Helo doctor, My penis is swollen in the front part with itching and irritation from yesterday. I was trying to check online, it says maybe it is balanitis, not sure though. Please guide what needs to be done? I am currently on medications for high BP and uric acid.
Hi. It is very likely to be balanitis with the background of acute infection and swelling. You can take tablet CISMA DT (Cefpodoxime) 200 mg twice a day, tablet NISE (Nimesulide) 100 mg twice a day, Tube Dermiford (for local application) twice a day. Take all these medicines for seven days. Review in a week if not resolved. Check your HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) levels and send reports. Are you sexually active? If yes, is your partner having white discharge? If so, your partner also needs treatment to prevent balanitis.
