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 and would like to consult. How should balanitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to the care of the foreskin, it is actually very simple, just use water to rinse. Remember, do not use soap and detergent, because the glans has a natural layer of mucus and mucous membrane that protects it. However, using soap and detergent can destroy the mucous membrane, which may instead 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, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
