Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came home at night, I noticed a ring of redness on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. At the time, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. Please ask: What is the effective treatment for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to the care of the foreskin is actually very simple, just need to be washed with clean water. Remember, do not use soap and detergent, because the surface of the glans is naturally covered with a layer of mucus and mucous membrane, which protects the glans. However, using soap and detergent will destroy the mucous membrane, and instead lead to urinary tract infections. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and patients should also have a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
