Patient's question:
I would like to ask about the treatment methods for balanoposthitis. I have had balanoposthitis for a month. At first, I didn't think about treating it, but it has become increasingly severe now, and it's a bit rotten. So, I want to get it treated. How should balanoposthitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
1 Pay attention to local hygiene, clean and wash the glans and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, seek timely treatment, and consider circumcision if necessary. It is very important to clean the smegma promptly.2 If one partner has a genital disease, sexual activity should be suspended, and timely treatment is necessary. If the infection is caused by trichomoniasis or Candida, both partners should be treated simultaneously.
3 For acute balanoposthitis, avoid using corticosteroid creams to prevent more severe infections.
