How to improve penile discomfort and swelling?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have had discomfort and swelling in my penis for the past five days.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com
I do understand your concern.
It appears to be a genital ulcer, which could be infectious (bacterial infection).
- Apply Mupirocin cream twice daily for ten days.
- Take tablet Zifi (cefixime and ofloxacin) 200 mg twice daily for five days.
- Clean the area with povidone-iodine solution twice daily for one month with a cotton gauze piece or cotton tip applicator.
- Practice safe sex.
- Avoid high-risk exposure.
- Do not scratch or rub the lesions.
- Keep your nails short.
- Maintain proper genital hygiene, as hygiene plays a very important role.
- Get urine routine and microscopy tests done. Follow up with reports.
I hope this helps. Thank you.
