I feel very uncomfortable in my private area, and that feeling is indescribable. It affects my work and life significantly, and it's very troublesome. How should I properly check and treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, balanitis is often caused by conditions such as excessive foreskin, phimosis, stimulation from smegma, various infections, and drug allergies, among other reasons, making it a male reproductive health issue. If balanitis recurs, you can promptly use some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications. You can take Amoxicillin capsules, Levofloxacin capsules, and other medications, while also using potassium permanganate baths. During treatment, it's important to get plenty of rest, avoid wearing tight underwear and pants, and refrain from masturbation and sexual intercourse. If you have excessive foreskin, it's advisable to visit a hospital for a circumcision to prevent recurring balanitis.
