Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable down there for a while. It's both painful and itchy, and my glans seems particularly red and a bit swollen. The smell is also quite unpleasant, and there are yellowish discharge from my glans. Is this likely balanitis? I'd like to know: What foods should be avoided with balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis cannot be eaten. To treat balanitis and boost immunity, it is best to consume anti-aging (boost immunity) foods, such as reishi mushroom and royal jelly, which are excellent. Ordinary foods, such as shiitake mushrooms, monkey head mushroom, black fungus, Tremella fuciformis, fresh radishes, lily bulbs, garlic (hot), tomatoes, sweet potatoes (white potatoes), tea leaves, kelp (cold), Astragalus (warm), and honey, are also beneficial. The diet for balanitis should be balanced and nutritious, pay attention to food hygiene to prevent illness from entering through the mouth, and avoid fried, colored, preservative, flavoring, pickled, and spoiled junk foods, as they may destroy immunity and greatly interfere with the treatment of balanitis.
