Patient's question:
During this period, I've been experiencing some discomfort in my groin area. I sought traditional Chinese medicine treatment for a month, but it didn't produce significant results. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor confirmed that I had developed balanitis. How should balanitis be prevented?Doctor's answer:
If the foreskin is too long and cannot return to its original position after being forcibly retracted, it may cause paraphimosis. This can lead to the death of the glans, so immediate medical attention is required.When cleaning under the foreskin, since the inner layer of the foreskin is thinner and more delicate than the outer layer, it is sensitive to chemical cleaning agents. Therefore, should not be used. Simple rinsing is sufficient. Gentle soaps or shower gels can also be used.
