Patient's question:
Recently, I've felt something's wrong with my foreskin. I went to the hospital and the expert said I have developed balanitis. I'd like to ask how to treat this condition effectively.Doctor's answer:
Frequently clean the foreskin and glans, always keep the foreskin cavity clean and dry. Pay attention to good hygiene habits in daily life. Circumcision, such as for phimosis where the foreskin cannot be retracted, has a very good preventive effect. If the condition is detected, use potassium permanganate solution to soak and clean the foreskin at the affected area, appropriately use antibiotics, and it is usually cured within a few days. If it is more severe, effective treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. There are many treatment methods for balanitis, but because the symptoms of patients are different, the treatment methods used are also different. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible after detecting symptoms.
