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. How should patients with balanitis pay attention to their diet?Doctor's answer:
If phimosis is prone to Candida infection, circumcision may be necessary. After full recovery, use Jieryin for daily cleaning. Generally, it can heal on its own. If it persists, oral antifungal medication can be taken concurrently to prevent transmission during sexual intercourse, as this can easily lead to repeated cross-infection for patients with balanitis. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
