Patient's question:
How should balanitis be treated? Sterilization with povidone-iodine, taking antibiotics?Doctor's answer:
Hello balanitis, most cases are caused by excessive foreskin. Excessive foreskin and a moist environment are the best places for bacteria to thrive. Using a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for external washing and taking fluconazole orally can effectively treat it. The most effective treatment is to undergo a circumcision surgery. Balanitis is a condition that is not easily relieved. Friends with this condition should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in fighting balanitis and believe that they will surely recover.
