Patient's question:
When taking a shower 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 I wasn't urinating smoothly. After checking at the hospital, they said it was balanitis. I'm asking: What are the most effective ways to treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, if the peeling reappears, this indicates an improvement. It is recommended to focus on medication treatment. Pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene, changing underwear frequently, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and wearing loose clothing to prevent repeated infections. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
