Patient's question:
For a while now, I've noticed that my glans is particularly dry, and it seems to have some flaky stuff falling off, like dandruff. I also feel itchy and sore. Is this balanitis? Please ask: How can I treat balanitis more reliably in the early stages?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is caused by symptoms of phimosis, which generally leads to issues like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and recurrent balanitis. First, it's important to pay attention to rest and maintain a light, warm, and easily digestible diet. Consistently changing medication daily is necessary, and taking levofloxacin tablets for anti-inflammatory treatment can help. The condition of phimosis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it's crucial to seek professional and regular medical treatment immediately. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it's important to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
