Patient's question:
On the 9th day after meeting her (for the first time) (May 20th), symptoms such as itching around the foreskin (approximately 60% of the foreskin area was painful), redness, and small spots reappeared for 8 days. On the last Friday evening, I took a hot shower, and the next morning I noticed swelling of the foreskin (meaning there was an extra lump of flesh on the foreskin) and itching at the base of the foreskin (which connects to the scrotum). At the same time, the scrotum itched, and there were red spots on the scrotum.What dietary restrictions should patients with balanitis pay attention to?
Doctor's answer:
Patients with balanoposthitis should also pay attention to gentle supplementation in their diet. Patients can take many jujubes, lotus leaves, black fungus, chrysanthemums, and roses orally, which can promote blood circulation and cool the blood. Chrysanthemums and roses can clear the liver, improve eyesight, regulate qi, and promote blood circulation, thereby alleviating the symptoms of balanoposthitis.Balanoposthitis should avoid pungent and warm foods, such as hot pot meat, pork head meat, and dog meat. These foods can help alleviate the condition of balanoposthitis. Timely treatment can reduce the recurrence of the disease. Therefore, patients should seek timely medical treatment. Additionally, in daily life, they should avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene.
