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, taking care of the foreskin is actually very simple, just need to use mild washing. Remember, do not use soap and detergent, because the surface of the glans already has a layer of mucus and mucous membrane to protect the glans. However, using soap and detergent will destroy the mucous membrane, and instead lead to urinary tract infections. Glans inflammation can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay more attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
