Patient's question:
Doctor, my glans has been itchy recently, and sometimes it's also swollen and red. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with balanitis. How is balanitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Hypospadias, if you cannot retract the foreskin frequently, urine accumulated at the foreskin opening can easily lead to balanitis. For balanitis, you can use potassium permanganate solution to clean it; if you keep retracting the foreskin and expose the glans regularly, balanitis is less likely to recur. For patients with foreskin issues, timely treatment can reduce the incidence, but if left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
