Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with balanitis. I don't know much about this disease, so I'd like to consult. How should balanitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to the care of the foreskin, it's actually very simple, just use water to rinse. Remember, don't use soap or detergent, because the glans penis naturally has a layer of mucus and mucous membrane that protects it. However, using soap and detergent can damage the mucous membrane, which can instead lead to urinary tract infections. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment usually takes a long time and is prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, during treatment, it's crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
