Patient's question:
I've been experiencing persistent pain in my penis recently and don't know the cause. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they said I have balanitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin) and prescribed medication, but I don't know if it will be effective. Are there any other treatment options besides this?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of balanoposthitis, it is important to pay attention. Regarding the treatment of balanoposthitis, here is an explanation for you: Wash the foreskin and glans frequently, always keeping the foreskin cavity clean and dry. Pay attention to developing good hygiene habits. For those with phimosis (where the foreskin cannot be moved) or excessive foreskin, circumcision and other preventive measures are very effective. If the condition is detected, gently move and wash the foreskin at the affected area, use antibiotics appropriately, and it is usually cured within a few days. If it is more severe, effective treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
