Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing redness, swelling, pain, itching, and a burning sensation in the glans, along with peeling. After examination, it was diagnosed as balanitis. Could you please tell me what treatment is required for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
In your case, you can use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change your underwear and pants frequently, and avoid spicy foods. If the recurrence is caused by excessive foreskin, it is best to undergo circumcision. This will prevent the recurrence of balanitis. Maintain a light diet in daily life and avoid consuming spicy foods. Rest well and avoid overexertion. Avoid sexual intercourse and unclean sexual activities. By leading a virtuous life, balanitis can be cured. However, the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
