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 can be used to treat foreskin balanitis?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 an overly long foreskin, circumcision should be performed. During treatment, you should avoid sexual activity.
