What should I do if I suffer from balanitis?

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: What should I do if I have balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

How should men treat balanitis? In clinical diagnosis, the common types of balanitis include the following:
(1) Acute superficial balanitis
(2) Circumferential purulent balanitis
(3) Candidal balanitis
(4) Trichomoniasis balanitis.
Therefore, to treat balanitis, it is necessary to carefully identify the infectious pathogen for targeted treatment. Additionally, both partners should be treated. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors.
During the inflammation phase of balanitis, the sensory nerves of the glans are damaged by inflammation, making it easier for men to experience premature ejaculation during sexual activity, which can further lead to recurrent premature ejaculation.
Do not self-medicate blindly, as everyone's physical constitution is different.
