Patient's question:
When taking a shower at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and the head of my penis 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. Please ask: How is balanitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to the care of the foreskin, it's actually very simple, just use clean water to rinse. Remember, don't use soap and detergent, because the surface of the glans is naturally covered with a layer of mucus and mucous membrane, which protects the glans. However, using soap and detergent can destroy the mucous membrane, and instead lead to urinary tract infections. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it's prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it's essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use the medication properly. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
