Patient's question:
Doctor, I have balanitis and phimosis, which keeps recurring without a permanent cure. What is the reason for this? Why does balanitis always recur?Doctor's answer:
For balanitis, it is recommended to use a 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution for soaking and applying anti-inflammatory ointment. For allergic balanitis, oral antihistamines and topical corticosteroid ointments should be used. If phimosis or edema of the foreskin prevents movement and drainage is poor, if the inflammation does not subside after general treatment, balanoposthectomy may be performed. It is important to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results, and proper diet should be maintained. Sexual activity should be avoided.
