Patient's question:
When taking a bath at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and it seemed a bit wrinkled and red. Recently, I also found that going to the bathroom wasn't very smooth. After checking at the hospital, they said it was balanitis. I would like to ask: How much does the treatment for balanitis usually cost?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis refers to the inflammation of the glans penis caused by factors such as trauma, irritation, or infection. There are many causes of balanitis. It is recommended that you identify the specific bacteria causing the inflammation for targeted treatment, as using sensitive antibiotics can be very effective. If you have phimosis, it is advisable to undergo circumcision after the inflammation is completely resolved. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. It is also important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
