Patient's question:
My husband doesn't pay attention to sexual hygiene and health care, and he has excessive foreskin. Recently, he noticed many red spots on his glans, which often itch and hurt, and he often wants to scratch them. He had to go to the hospital, where the doctor said it was balanitis. What are the treatment methods for balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
Medication Treatment: Generally speaking, medication treatment is primarily aimed at patients with mild balanitis. Those with less severe conditions can recover quickly after taking medication. However, for moderate to severe cases, whether using traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, it is difficult to cure them quickly with medication. Long-term use of medication treatment can affect the sensitivity of the sensory nerves of the glans. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If treatment is delayed, it may affect overall health.
