Patient's question:
I have balanitis, and my balanitis has not been improving. I have gone to the hospital twice, but it still hasn't gotten better. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on your current condition, if the issue of balanitis reoccurs, it may be directly related to excessive foreskin. It is recommended that you consider getting a local mucosal microbial culture done at the hospital to identify what type of infection it is. If a fungal infection reoccurs, it is advisable to consider using topical antifungal medication promptly, and also consider getting circumcised. In addition to timely treatment for balanitis, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
