Patient's question:
My husband is usually very messy and pays no attention to hygiene in sexual life, and he also has excessive foreskin. Recently, he found that he always feels uncomfortable when urinating. There are many red spots on his glans, so he had to go to the hospital. The doctor said it was balanitis. What methods are used to treat balanitis in patients with foreskin and glans inflammation?Doctor's answer:
In your case, you don't need to use any instruments, but medication is required. You have bacterial balanitis, so it is recommended to take oral metronidazole and apply fluconazole ointment externally. At the same time, you should also use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is advised to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If you have phimosis or a long foreskin, circumcision should be performed. During treatment, avoid sexual activity. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after recovery.
