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 and would like to consult. How is balanitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Prevent dirty sexual contact and maintain self-purity. It is best to avoid using corticosteroid hormone creams to prevent more severe infections. To prevent the recurrence of balanitis, pay attention to local hygiene, clean the glans and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, seek timely treatment, and consider circumcision if necessary. It is very important to clean the foreskin regularly. The condition of balanitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, maintain personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
