Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with balanitis. I don't know much about this disease, so I'd like to consult. How can balanitis be treated to get better?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to the care of the foreskin, it is actually very simple, just use gentle wiping. Remember, do not use soap or detergent, because the glans penis naturally has a layer of mucus and mucous membrane that protects it. However, using soap and detergent can damage the mucous membrane, which may instead lead to urinary tract infections. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals promptly, and treatment should be considered based on the results of examinations. Also, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity. Finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
