Patient's question:
When taking a shower at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and the head of my penis seemed a bit wrinkled and red. Recently, I also found that I wasn't urinating smoothly. After checking at the hospital, they said it was balanitis. Please ask: What should I do if I have balanitis, and how can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello. How to have phimosis. Most cases of balanitis or posthitis are caused by phimosis, as phimosis easily leads to the accumulation of smegma, which in turn causes posthitis or balanitis. There is even a risk of cancer. In the summer, excessive sweating and a damp environment make the foreskin the ideal breeding ground for bacteria. It is recommended to undergo circumcision as soon as possible. Currently, you can use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for external washing to help reduce inflammation. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
