Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for many years, and we have not used any contraception, but we have never been able to get pregnant. After checking at the hospital, I found out that I have balanitis. Please advise on how to treat it effectively.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, balanoposthitis is mainly caused by inflammation of the glans and foreskin due to insufficient cleaning or contact with the penis. Antimicrobial treatment is necessary. It is recommended to first pay attention to penis hygiene, clean the penis with soap or other materials, maintain cleanliness, then apply topical anti-inflammatory ointments such as erythromycin ointment externally, and take oral cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs for antimicrobial treatment to recover. There are many treatment methods for balanitis, but since the symptoms of patients are different, the diagnostic methods used are also different. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment after discovering symptoms.
