Patient's question:
I feel that the glans has recently shown signs of redness and swelling. I have also tried dealing with glans inflammation before. How can I deal with recurrent glans inflammation? Is there any medication I can take? Or do I need to consult a doctor for certain treatments to completely cure this condition?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent balanitis may likely be caused by poor sexual hygiene or phimosis. It is recommended to first visit a hospital to determine the specific cause. If the sexual partner has a vaginal infection, both should be treated simultaneously with medication. In cases of phimosis, circumcision may be necessary if required. Temporarily, sexual activity should be avoided to prevent further infection.For individuals with balanitis, in addition to understanding and treating symptoms, dietary therapy can serve as a supplementary treatment. It is important to maintain a balanced diet in daily life and avoid foods.
