What are the methods for treating balanitis?

Patient's question:

Long-term balanitis with inflammation, itching, and odor, I'm only 20 years old, what are the treatment methods for balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

This should be considered as balanoposthitis. If you want to thoroughly heal by washing the glans and inner foreskin, if the foreskin is long, it may be necessary to consider circumcision. You can use potassium permanganate for washing and apply levofloxacin ointment for treatment, while paying attention to hygiene. Balanoposthitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
