Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my testicles, and this week I've also had a fever. Normally, I feel cold, and when I take a shower, I notice that my testicles seem to contain a lot of liquid. Please ask: How is balanitis best treated?Doctor's answer:
The common causes of balanitis include transmission through unclean sexual activity, phimosis, penetration of pathogenic microorganisms, and poor local hygiene. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, especially local cleanliness, maintain a regular lifestyle, eat a light diet, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is advised to seek medical attention at a reputable hospital for tests such as external genital discharge and bacterial culture to receive targeted medication. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
