Patient's question:
I got a check-up last week and found that I have 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: Is it necessary to treat balanitis for it to heal?Doctor's answer:
Circumcision balanitis is more common in fungal form, which is relatively easy to treat and improve. Sensitive drugs can be taken orally, such as fluconazole and levofloxacin tablets, which can be used in combination with topical application of fluconazole ointment for faster results. Attention should be paid to local hygiene and prevention of various irritations. For those with excessive foreskin, circumcision can be performed after acute inflammation is controlled. For balanitis patients, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If not treated promptly, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
