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 generally treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis is commonly seen in cases of excessive foreskin and is usually caused by fungal infections. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital's urology department for a follow-up examination to confirm whether it is balanoposthitis. Iodophor soaking of the penis can be combined with the external application of compound miconazole ointment for treatment. Balanoposthitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
