Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:Still not fully recovered, I'd like to understand what harms might reappear if it's often not better? Can it be cured?
Doctor's answer:
Your friend's condition is likely caused by balanitis. It is often triggered by friction from underwear, mental trauma, or local irritation from soaps and cleaning agents. Symptoms include swelling, redness, discharge, and erosion. Secondary infection may lead to purulent discharge. It can easily form ulcers and cause pain. A 3% boric acid solution or a 0.05% emodin solution can be applied topically.The condition of balanitis tends to recur easily, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical attention at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
