Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing redness, swelling, pain, itching, a burning sensation, and peeling in the glans. After examination, it was diagnosed as balanitis. Could you please tell me what treatment is required for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
In your case, you can use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change your underwear and pants frequently, and avoid spicy foods. If the recurrent episodes are caused by phimosis, it is best to undergo circumcision. This will prevent the recurrence of balanitis. Maintain a light diet in daily life and avoid consuming spicy foods. Rest well and avoid overexertion. Avoid sexual intercourse and unprotected sex. By leading a clean life, balanitis can be cured. However, the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
