Patient's question:
I have balanitis, which is mild and not considered serious. However, I still really hope to get it treated early. I don't know how to treat mild balanitis, so I wanted to ask you how to treat mild balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is mainly caused by poor hygiene, trauma-induced infection, or sexual transmission. Therefore, if treatment is needed, the first step is to implement daily hygiene for the genital area. Additionally, topical antibiotic application can be used, such as mupirocin. In severe cases, oral antibiotics may also be prescribed in conjunction. Generally, inflammation can be controlled within about a week. Phimosis patients can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, also use home remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life.
