Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 24 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling a bit uncomfortable downstairs, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I have balanitis. I don't know if medical insurance can be prepaid, so I would like to consult if medical insurance covers the prepayment for treating balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is a common clinical diagnosis in andrology, caused by inflammatory infections, and is associated with various factors such as excessive foreskin, phimosis, poor hygiene of the genital area, unhygienic sexual practices, frequent masturbation, and unclean sexual life. Active treatment should be initiated to prevent the condition from worsening due to delayed or inappropriate treatment, leading to non-healing, recurring episodes, and affecting normal sexual life and fertility. The prepayment standards for this condition vary by region; in some places, it is covered, while in others, it is not. Specific inquiries should be made to the local medical insurance department. There are several treatment methods for phimosis.
