Patient's question:
For a while now, I've noticed that my glans is particularly dry, and it seems to have some flaky stuff falling off, like dandruff. I also feel itchy and painful. Is this balanitis? Please ask: What are the common treatments for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
For the issue of treatment for male balanoposthitis, you must pay attention. Regarding the treatment for male balanoposthitis you mentioned, I will clarify it as follows. As long as you discover it and go to the hospital for treatment, it is not too late. The act of rubbing your glans with soap water is incorrect because you do not know what caused it. Using soap water may alleviate the condition, but you can just wash it with clean water. You can make an appointment with the urology department. As for the cost, it depends on what illness you have. It is recommended to go to the hospital. Generally, doctors will prescribe medication for you, so it is just a matter of a few minutes: Balanoposthitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment.
