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 balanitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention, taking care of the foreskin is actually very simple, just need to use water to rinse. Remember, do not use soap and detergent, because the glans has a layer of mucus and mucous membrane that protects it. However, using soap and detergent will destroy the mucous membrane, and instead, it may lead to urinary tract infections. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay more attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
