Patient's question:
These past few days, I don't know what's going on. The head of my penis is a bit red, and besides being a bit itchy, I feel a stinging pain in the urethra when I urinate. My heart is really down, and I'm absolutely sure I haven't contracted anything. I went to the children's hospital and asked for some advice. They said it's balanoposthitis. What should I do about balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
In your case, you can use many external disinfectant solutions to clean the area. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change your underwear and pants frequently, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. If the recurrent episodes are caused by excessive foreskin, it is best to undergo circumcision. This will prevent the recurrence of balanitis. Maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, get adequate rest, and avoid overexertion. Refrain from sexual intercourse and avoid unprotected or unsafe sex. For individuals with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of outbreaks. If left untreated, it may affect fertility.
