Patient's question:
Doctor, my glans has been itchy recently, sometimes it's also red and swollen. After examination, I was diagnosed with balanitis. How should balanitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. Avoid uncleanliness and practice self-discipline. Maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and pay attention to rest, avoiding overexertion. Eat less spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, and avoid smoking and alcohol. Prevent unclean sexual contact and practice self-discipline. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to symptoms. Additionally, during treatment, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and proper diet. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
