Patient's question:
I am a 35-year-old male and have been experiencing discomfort in my body, so I haven't gone to see a doctor yet. Could you please tell me: What kind of medication is generally used for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Balanitis refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and the glans penis. A lipid substance secreted normally in the foreskin cavity can accumulate as smegma under conditions of phimosis or excessive foreskin, irritating the foreskin and glans to cause balanitis. It is recommended to maintain local cleanliness to prevent secondary infection. Additionally, during treatment, patients should adhere to a regulated diet, maintain a regular sleep schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate physical and mental health. They should also maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
