Patient's question:
Doctor, my glans has been itchy recently, sometimes swollen and red. After examination, I was diagnosed with balanitis. How should I treat my balanitis and phimosis?Doctor's answer:
If you have phimosis or similar conditions, it is likely that you will need surgery to remove the excess foreskin for treatment. You should understand this clearly. If there are no symptoms such as itching, redness, swelling, or discharge after the treatment for balanitis, then it should be considered fully healed. You can understand this, and I hope you do not feel stressed. Phimosis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, 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 sitting or riding for long periods and pay close attention to personal hygiene. I hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
