How should common balanitis be treated?

Patient's question:

The foreskin is quite long, with some redness, swelling, and pain, which has lasted for about 2 days. How should common balanitis be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Balanitis is the most common type of penile condition affecting the glans and foreskin. Nearly all patients have phimosis or excessive foreskin. Between the glans and the overhanging foreskin, a warm and moist bacterial culture is formed by shed epithelial cells, glandular secretions, and smegma bacteria. Once bacteria enter, inflammation can occur. When seeking treatment for balanitis, it is essential to choose a hospital with professional expertise! Wishing patients a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
