Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with balanitis. I don't know much about this disease, so I'd like to consult. How should I treat balanitis itching?Doctor's answer:
It is balanitis. Balanitis refers to the inflammation of the glans penis. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. It is recommended to take oral anti-inflammatory medication and use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for local washing. Balanitis itching can be controlled, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications appropriately during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
