Patient's question:
I am 28 years old this year, and I have been married for three years. Recently, I feel a little pain in my foreskin. I didn't pay attention at first, but later I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The result was balanoposthitis. I want to know how to treat this condition. How should patients with balanoposthitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is essentially inflammation, which is usually caused by bacterial infection. Proper local care should be maintained; rinse the genital area with warm water daily, change underwear frequently, and wash clothes often. Avoid frequent visits to public baths or staying in hotels to prevent unprotected sex. Reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, and drink less beer. It is recommended that the care for epididymitis primarily focuses on hygiene. If there is an overgrowth of the foreskin, surgery can be considered to address the issue.
