Patient's question:

Treatment methods for balanitis, how should the treatment methods for balanitis be handled? Recently, I noticed that the inside of my foreskin is dry, painful, slightly swollen, and sometimes the glans has white discharge that comes off easily with a touch. What is the most effective treatment for balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Treatment Methods for Balanoposthitis, Let Me Explain
For mild balanoposthitis, it needs to be taken seriously! Balanoposthitis refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans penis. Balanoposthitis can be caused by infectious and non-infectious factors. Due to unprotected sex, infections with Candida, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae can all lead to balanoposthitis. Non-infectious factors are often due to excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, and the accumulation of dirty substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, which can irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, triggering inflammation again.
