Patient's question:
I have balanitis, which is mild and not considered serious. However, I still really hope to get it treated early. I don't know how to treat mild balanitis, so I wanted to ask you how to treat mild balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is mainly caused by poor hygiene, infections from trauma, or sexual transmission. Therefore, if treatment is needed, the first step is to clean the genital area daily. At the same time, topical antibiotic treatment can be applied, such as mupirocin, for example. In severe cases, oral antibiotics can also be used in conjunction. Generally, inflammation can be controlled within about a week. Phimosis patients can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, also use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life.
