Patient's question:
Hello urologist, I have redness and swelling in my foreskin today, and it hurts when touched. How can balanitis be treated quickly to see results?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis and balanitis, if not treated promptly or improperly, can easily recur or spread to other parts such as the urethra, prostate, and other areas, increasing the difficulty of treatment. However, since the specific causes and infectious pathogens vary, the treatment methods differ. Blind medication can easily lead to drug resistance and worsen the condition. It is recommended to visit a formal urology hospital for follow-up treatment. Through relevant tests such as urine, secretions, and bacterial culture, a clear diagnosis can be made, followed by targeted treatment. Additionally, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of warm water, and strictly prohibit sexual activity. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
