Patient's question:
When getting married, I noticed my husband had slightly excessive foreskin. I suggested he get a circumcision, but he stubbornly refused. Later, he developed balanitis, with his glans becoming red, swollen, and extremely painful. The friction of wearing underwear caused unbearable discomfort. Where is a good hospital to treat balanitis? Please advise.Doctor's answer:
Currently, the recurring symptoms are primarily indicative of balanitis (inflammation of the glans penis). It is necessary to apply some anti-inflammatory ointments for local topical treatment, while oral anti-inflammatory medications can also be taken for systemic treatment. This condition is also a very common disease, and it is recommended to visit the dermatology department of a local secondary hospital for follow-up treatment. During the treatment period, dietary precautions should be taken to avoid any irritating foods. In addition to promptly treating balanitis, patients should maintain a positive mindset to face the disease. Only in this way can the patient's immunity be improved and their belief in combating the disease strengthened. At the same time, it is important to pay close attention to personal dietary care.
