Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they've started to hurt more, especially when touched, and it feels particularly intense. It seems there's also some swelling on the other side. I'm very worried. How can I effectively treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
If you have balanitis, you need to be treated. You can use a cleansing solution to clean the glans and foreskin. You can soak the foreskin and glans in a sodium bicarbonate solution and then apply an anti-fungal ointment, such as clotrimazole ointment, for symptomatic treatment. Balanitis tends to recur, so long-term medication may be necessary. For male patients, it is important to actively seek professional and regular medical treatment. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
