How long should I soak my head in potassium permanganate for balanitis?

Potassium permanganate has a good bactericidal effect and is widely used in medical treatment. If a man has balanitis, he can also use potassium permanganate solution for treatment. First, the potassium permanganate solution must be diluted, and then the glans is soaked in the diluted solution. Generally, it is enough to soak for five minutes, and then wash it clean. You can also apply erythromycin ointment on the glans.

How long should potassium permanganate be soaked for balanitis? 1. First, we prepare a container. The editor used an ordinary 2-liter large beverage bottle to make the container.

2. Then visually mark half the distance. Q: Why visual inspection? Answer: The ratio error of potassium permanganate can be between 100 and 1000. (Because the beverage bottle is pointed at the top and wide at the bottom, the capacity at the top is less than that at the bottom, so visually the top half takes up more space than the bottom. You can use a gel pen to mark it. The editor does not have a gel pen, so he tore a piece of paper and taped it on top.)

3. We need to understand the concept of 1 to a certain number. 1:1000 means 1 to 100 milliliters, 1:5000 means 1 to 500 milliliters, and 1:10000 means 1 to 1000 milliliters. Generally, the maximum ratio is 1 to 10,000, and the commonly used ratio is 1:5000. When water is poured into the container and reaches the position we marked, the ratio is 1:10000. ps: Due to shooting requirements, the visibility of clean water is not high, so the water in the picture is processed and very turbid. When we actually operate, we must keep the container clean and fill it with clean water.

4. The picture below shows the ratio of 5000 used to treat balanitis, which is half of the position we marked.

5. Then put the potassium permanganate external-use tablets into the water, cover the bottle cap and shake vigorously until it is completely dissolved in the water. Then slowly pour it into the affected area. It will heal in about a week. It is recommended to use it again for 1 to 3 days after recovery to prevent recurrence.

6. The capacity of ordinary mineral water is generally around 450 ml to 550 ml. If the ratio is 1:5000, you can fill a mineral water bottle with water and put in the potassium permanganate external-use tablets until it is completely dissolved. Then apply to the affected area.

Is balanitis contagious? In recent years, the incidence of male balanitis has increased year by year and has attracted increasing attention. It not only affects the normal life of couples and destroys harmonious family relationships, but also affects people's physical and mental health. Many patients with balanitis are concerned about this question: Is balanitis contagious?

There are many causes of balanitis, including infectious and non-infectious factors. To determine whether balanitis is contagious, different situation analyses should be conducted based on different causes of the disease.

Balanitis caused by some bacteria and fungi can be contagious. Such as infection with Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma and *Diplococcus and other bacteria. The most common contagious balanitis includes: Candidal balanitis. It is more common in young and middle-aged people. Young and middle-aged people have active sebaceous glands and moist vulva. In addition, they wear thicker underwear or do not clean the vulva enough, which causes Candida to take root and sprout, causing trouble, and can be transmitted to the spouse through sexual intercourse.

Some cases of balanitis are not contagious. For example, non-infectious factors include local trauma, friction, contraceptives, soaps, detergents and other irritations, which may manifest locally as edema, erythema, erosion, exudation and even bleeding. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it may become purulent and form an ulcer surface.

However, regardless of whether balanitis is contagious or not, it should be taken seriously because it can lead to a series of complications.
