Patient's question:
My husband's glans is a bit red and swollen, and he says it's a bit itchy. I searched online for him, and it said it might be balanitis. They suggested using some balanitis wash solution to clean the glans, which should help. So I specifically came to consult a doctor. Hello, what kinds of balanitis wash solutions are there?Doctor's answer:
My husband's glans is a bit red and swollen. He has balanitis, and the itchy feeling has reappeared. If this situation occurs again, he can apply povidone-iodine for cleaning and then apply clotrimazole ointment externally. If the foreskin is too long, he can consider a circumcision surgery for a more thorough treatment. It is important to pay attention to hygiene and clean frequently to avoid getting balanitis easily. Recently, he should avoid spicy foods like chili.In addition, during the treatment for balanitis, besides timely medical care, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a positive mood and eat appropriately to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of balanitis.
