Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing redness, swelling, pain, itching, and a burning sensation in the glans, along with peeling. After examination, it was diagnosed as balanitis. I would like to know what medication is most effective for treating balanitis. Will using the right medication lead to recurrence?Doctor's answer:
The main causes of balanitis include phimosis, paraphimosis, sexual intercourse, trauma, transmission, and unclean sexual contact, as well as poor local hygiene. It is recommended that you also receive a comprehensive evaluation and careful observation. Pay attention to local hygiene, avoid unclean sexual contact, and if phimosis or paraphimosis is present, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
