Patient's question:
I previously had a case of balanitis, and at that time, I took medication prescribed by the hospital, which resolved the issue. Now it seems to have flared up again, but I don't want to go to the hospital anymore. It's too crowded and troublesome, and they require various detailed examinations. I want to buy medicine myself. What kind of anti-inflammatory medication should be taken for male balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Most men experience recurrent balanitis, which is primarily caused by poor personal hygiene or urethral inflammation due to conditions like phimosis. In such cases, it is recommended that patients drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and change their underwear. Additionally, maintaining good personal hygiene and using antimicrobial medications such as quinolones or penicillin to control bacterial infections may be necessary. In some cases, circumcision may also be performed as a treatment.
