How to treat periposthitis in its early stage?

In the early stages of periposthitis, symptoms can be relieved through general treatment, ointments or oral medications. It is also necessary to adopt a targeted treatment plan based on the cause of posthitis.

When postdermatitis occurs, the patient must do a good job in local hygiene care, keep the local area clean and dry, try not to scratch, and also wear some pure cotton underwear with good breathability, and clean the local area with clean water every day.

Posthitis is mainly caused by bacterial infection or fungal infection. After the onset, it may cause swelling and pain in the foreskin area, and may also be accompanied by symptoms such as difficulty urinating and ulceration. However, you need to apply erythromycin ointment, fluocinolone acetonide cream, or antifungal ointment, such as ketoconazole cream, miconazole nitrate ointment, etc. under the guidance of a doctor in a timely manner.

If the symptoms of periposthitis are not relieved after applying ointment, you need to take oral anti-inflammatory drugs in a timely manner under the guidance of a doctor, such as roxithromycin and levofloxacin capsules. For fungal infections, you need to take oral ketoconazole, terbinafine, etc. as directed by your doctor in a timely manner.

If foreshitis occurs frequently and repeatedly, it may be caused by excessive foreskin. Generally, it is necessary to go to the andrology department of the hospital for examination in time, and then based on the examination results, circumcision surgery can be performed as soon as possible to improve the symptoms.
