Patient's question:
I previously had a case of balanitis, and at that time, I took medication prescribed by the hospital, which resolved the issue. Now it seems to have flared up again, but I don't want to go to the hospital anymore. There are too many people there, and it's troublesome, plus they have to do all sorts of detailed examinations. I want to buy medicine myself. What anti-inflammatory drugs should men take for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Most men experience recurrent balanitis, which is primarily caused by poor personal hygiene or urethral inflammation due to conditions like phimosis. In such cases, it is recommended that patients drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and change their underwear. Additionally, maintaining good personal hygiene is crucial, and if necessary, antimicrobial medications such as quinolones and penicillins can be used to control bacterial infections. In some cases, circumcision may also be considered for treatment.
