Patient's question:
When taking a shower at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and it seemed a bit wrinkled and red. Recently, I also found that I wasn't urinating smoothly. After checking at the hospital, they said it was balanitis. I'm asking: Which clinic is better for treating balanitis itching?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the condition, may be a symptom of balanitis, which refers to inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans penis. Normally, a lipid substance secreted in the foreskin cavity can accumulate as smegma in cases of phimosis or excessive foreskin, irritating the foreskin and glans penis and leading to balanitis. It is recommended that patients visit a professional urological hospital for further examination and follow-up treatment, and receive treatment based on the underlying cause. Patients should actively pursue anti-inflammatory treatment, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and enhance the intake of components such as vitamin C to improve the body's anti-inflammatory ability. They should avoid foods such as pig trotters, fish soup, and mutton to prevent increased secretions from the inflamed area. Local cold compresses should be applied, and bed rest should be maximized to avoid prolonged standing. Spicy and irritating foods should be avoided.
