Patient's question:
These days, my sexual life hasn't been satisfying. I noticed small rashes on my glans that are itchy. Besides discharge, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it's balanitis, which requires medication for treatment. I'd like to ask what preventive measures are there for balanitis. What preventive measures are there for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Preventive measures for balanoposthitis should first involve avoiding tight clothing to reduce local irritation to the genital organs. Avoid lying in bed, on your back, or hugging pillows while sleeping. Maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the genital organs at all times to prevent local inflammation or other conditions that may cause congestion in the genital area, thereby avoiding erection and sexual arousal. If sexual urges cannot be controlled, change the environment or engage in conversation to distract yourself immediately. Focus on other activities and make friends to divert your attention. Avoid sexual activity; if phimosis is detected, surgical treatment can be performed.
