Patient's question:
For a while now, I've noticed that my glans is particularly dry, and it seems to be shedding something like dandruff. I also feel itchy and painful at times. Is this balanitis? Please ask: Where is it most effective to treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Can balanitis be cured? If your physical condition is good, it may recover from balanitis for a second time, but it is very easy to relapse. After a second occurrence of balanitis, the recovery becomes more difficult because the bacteria have developed resistance. At that point, treatment becomes very troublesome. Therefore, it can be said that the recovery of balanitis is impossible for the disease. Balanitis patients must receive targeted treatment to recover. The chronic nature of balanitis can also lead to downward infections in the urinary system, resulting in secondary symptoms such as nephritis. Especially, if balanitis is not treated continuously, it can easily lead to acute urinary system infections, threatening life safety.
