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 do I treat this condition?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is necessary to consider the possibility of balanoposthitis being contagious. Balanoposthitis is often caused by excessive foreskin, poor hygiene, or gynecological infections in sexual partners. It is recommended to visit a hospital for examination, identify the underlying cause, and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is important to treat the sexual partner concurrently. The foreskin can be cured, but the treatment process is usually lengthy, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, proper medication, and avoiding prolonged sitting or riding are essential. Patients should also pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
