Patient's question:
A few days ago, my glans head got inflamed, itchy, and painful, so I checked it carefully. I found out I had acute edematous balanitis. Hello, how is acute edematous balanitis treated? I don't have excessive foreskin, why did I still get this condition? Is it because my pants are dirty?Doctor's answer:
Acute edematous balanitis is not common, and its cause is not much related to phimosis. It is more likely to be caused by unclean sexual activity or sharing personal hygiene items with others. It is essential to identify the pathogen as soon as possible so that treatment can be targeted and there is a chance of self-healing. Never ignore it or engage in oral activities, as this will only worsen the symptoms. Men with urological conditions can understand symptomatic treatment while using folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. Proper diet should be maintained in daily eating habits to avoid stimulating foods.
