Patient's question:
When taking a bath 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. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was balanitis. Please ask: Where can I get treatment for male balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Erythema of the prepuce and glans is the inflammation of the inner layer of the prepuce and the glans. A normal amount of a lipid substance secreted in the preputial cavity can accumulate as preputial discharge when the prepuce is too long or when phimosis occurs, irritating the prepuce and glans. The cost of treating preputial and glans inflammation actually varies and depends on each patient's specific condition, physical health, and the chosen treatment method. The charging standards for treating preputial and glans inflammation differ among hospitals. Erythema of the prepuce and glans can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medication must be used according to the symptoms during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet during treatment. We hope male patients can recover quickly.
