Patient's question:
A few days, how long does balanitis take to heal? It's been a week already. Everything else has been checked carefully, and tests have been done. The doctor said there's nothing wrong, just that it's due to excessive foreskin, but I have phimosis, and it never existed before. It only appeared after one act of unsafe sex. Besides the swelling at the base of the glans where it connects to the pubic region, everything else is fine. If I go to another hospital for a thorough check-up, which department should I go to? How long does balanitis take to heal?Doctor's answer:
The is still swollen now. You can go to the urology department of the hospital for another check-up. It is recommended to pay attention to hygiene and keep the area clean and dry. Eat less spicy and irritating food. Wear loose cotton underwear. You can take many anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve the symptoms. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long. And it is easy to relapse after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, drugs must be used according to the symptoms. In addition, patients need to have a light diet, not eat irritating food, not smoke, and not drink beer.
