Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for many years, and we have not used any contraception, but we have never been able to conceive. After checking at the hospital, I found out that I have balanitis. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, balanitis is mainly caused by insufficient cleaning or contact-induced inflammation of the glans and foreskin of the penis, and it requires anti-infection treatment. It is recommended to first pay attention to penis hygiene, clean the penis with soap or other cleaning agents, maintain cleanliness, then apply topical anti-inflammatory ointments such as erythromycin ointment externally, and take oral cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs for anti-infection treatment to recover. There are many treatment methods for balanitis, but since the symptoms of patients are different, the diagnostic methods used are also different. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as they notice symptoms.
