Patient's question:
I got tested for a physical last week and found balanitis. It seems to be getting worse recently, with some bleeding and discharge, and it looks like there are also blisters. Is the condition getting serious? Please ask: How much is the nursing fee during the treatment period for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and the glans penis, which is usually caused by inflammation due to smegma. However, it can also be brought on by bacterial, fungal infections, or drug allergies. It is recommended that you identify the cause and treat accordingly based on the cause. If the inflammation is caused by smegma, it is still advisable to prioritize anti-inflammatory treatment, but after the inflammation subsides, circumcision should be considered to prevent recurrence. The condition of phimosis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
