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 balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the preputial cavity. Avoid uncleanliness and maintain a clean lifestyle. Maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and pay attention to rest, avoiding overexertion. Eat less spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, and avoid smoking and alcohol. Prevent unclean sexual contact and maintain a clean lifestyle. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to symptoms. Additionally, during treatment, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and proper diet. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
