Patient's question:
Hello. I have found patches on my glans with different colors, and there is a ring of white substance around the edge of my glans that cannot be washed off. Is this condition caused by balanitis? If it is balanitis, could you please tell me: What treatment is needed to improve the condition of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment duration for any disease is determined by various factors such as the severity of the condition and the chosen treatment method. The time it takes to treat balanitis also depends on the patient's constitution. The severity of the patient's condition, differences in personal physical fitness, and the choice of treatment plan and expert can all lead to variations in the treatment duration for balanitis.Generally, men suffering from balanitis should pay attention to the following aspects:
Prevent unprotected sexual intercourse and maintain a clean lifestyle.
If ulcers or erosion occur, it is essential to change the medication promptly, with two daily changes, to avoid discomforting irritation.
Pay attention to local hygiene and clean the glans and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, it should be treated promptly, and in some cases, circumcision may be necessary to ensure timely cleaning of smegma.
