Patient's question:
What kind of medicine is good for fast recovery from balanitis? Is balanitis better if it is washed more frequently? Does frequently cleaning the glans help with balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis hygiene is poor. Internal underwear fibers and industrial pollution cause it. Severe cases will not get better just by washing alone. Medication and dietary adjustments are also necessary. Generally, saline washing followed by iodine sterilization is used. Applying Baiyao ointment for about a week can usually lead to complete recovery. For patients with phimosis, it is important to avoid smoking, alcohol, spicy, cold, frozen, and oily foods. Timely treatment can reduce the recurrence. If not treated promptly, it can affect overall health, so patients should seek timely medication. Additionally, daily life requires more attention to self-care, such as avoiding spicy foods.
