Patient's question:
For a while now, I've noticed that my glans is particularly dry, and it seems to be shedding something like dandruff. I also feel itchy and painful. Is this balanitis? Please ask: How long does balanitis take to heal?Doctor's answer:
Hello: When treating balanoposthitis, there are several points to pay attention to. How to treat the sexual partner at the same time, incomplete cleaning of excessive foreskin, and unclean sexual intercourse, etc. During treatment, medication should be targeted, and the sexual partner should also be treated. If there is no sexual partner but the foreskin is excessive, it should be circumcised. Otherwise, if cleaning is not thorough, it will lead to repeated infections. If drug resistance occurs, it will be even more difficult to treat. Wish you health! The condition of balanitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is necessary to seek medical treatment immediately in a professional and regular hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, attention should be paid to restricting sexual life and maintaining a good mood. Finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
