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 is balanitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Prevent dirty sexual contact and maintain self-purity. It is best to avoid using corticosteroid ointments to prevent more severe infections. To prevent the recurrence of balanitis, pay attention to local hygiene, clean the glans and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, seek timely treatment, and consider circumcision if necessary. It is very important to clean the foreskin regularly. The condition of balanitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, seek professional and regular medical treatment immediately, and consider treatment based on examination results. Also, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, maintaining personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
