Patient's question:
Recently, I've felt something wrong with my foreskin. I went to the hospital and the expert said I have developed balanitis. I want to ask which hospital has a lot of experience treating balanitis.Doctor's answer:
A lipid substance normally secreted in the foreskin cavity can accumulate as smegma when the foreskin is too long or when there is phimosis, which can affect the foreskin and glans penis, leading to balanoposthitis. It is important to frequently clean the foreskin and glans penis, maintaining a clean and dry foreskin cavity. Good hygiene habits should be practiced daily. For individuals with phimosis who cannot retract the foreskin, circumcision can be an effective preventive measure. If the condition is detected, the foreskin can be retracted at the affected area and soaked in potassium permanganate solution, followed by gentle scrubbing. Appropriate use of antibiotics is recommended, and the condition often heals within a few days. If the condition is severe, effective treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
