Patient's question:
I have chronic balanitis and don't know what to do. I would like to ask a few questions. How is chronic balanitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Chronic balanitis is primarily caused by excessive foreskin, with the most common cause being a Candida albicans infection. Antifungal creams like clotrimazole can be applied externally. Pay attention to hygiene and regularly clean the area. If the foreskin is too long, circumcision surgery can be performed for a more thorough solution. Circumcision is a minor outpatient procedure that typically takes about ten minutes to complete and usually heals within about ten days.For severe cases of balanitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for proper treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition. The above advice is for reference only.
I hope the above information can help you. Thank you.
