Patient's question:
During this time, I noticed many red spots appearing on my glans again. After taking Chinese medicine for a month, there wasn't much effect. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor confirmed that I had balanitis. What are the precautions for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
When necessary, circumcision can be performed, which has a good preventive effect on recurrent balanoposthitis. After removing excess foreskin and treating phimosis, the foreskin and glans are easier to keep clean and dry, destroying the living environment and conditions for anaerobic bacteria. Additionally, most of the affected areas are removed, significantly reducing the risk of sepsis and increasing the chances of recovery. However, many patients are reluctant to take this step. It's not a symptomatic treatment—it's the only way to completely eliminate the "nest."
