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 the other side seems to be swollen as well. I'm very concerned. Could you please tell me: How should balanitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
According to your condition, it is mainly caused by balanoposthitis. You should pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene and changing your underwear frequently. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate for cleaning and apply 100 times or compound acetic acid dexamethasone cream for treatment. You should also pay attention to wearing loose clothing and cleaning before and after sexual activity to avoid the accumulation of dirt and the occurrence of infection. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. I wish you a speedy recovery.
