Patient's question:
I am a 30-year-old male who has recently been experiencing discomfort. Gradually, the discomfort has worsened. Could you please tell me: How is the general treatment for balanitis and balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is generally caused by excessive foreskin, which leads to the accumulation of secretions and bacterial infections, resulting in recurrent inflammatory conditions. In most cases, local medication is the best treatment approach, and oral medication is not necessary. In the near future, avoiding spicy and irritating diets, as well as refraining from drinking beer and consuming seafood, can effectively prevent the recurrence of inflammation. Additionally, undergoing circumcision as soon as possible can help prevent the recurrence of balanitis in the future.
