Patient's question:
My husband is usually very messy and pays no attention to hygiene in sexual life, and he also has excessive foreskin. Recently, he found that he always feels uncomfortable when urinating. There are many red spots on his glans, so he had to go to the hospital. The doctor said it was balanitis. What are the effective methods for treating balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of balanoposthitis primarily involves anti-inflammatory measures. If detected and treated early, it will not lead to severe consequences. However, balanoposthitis tends to recur frequently, which can be quite troublesome.For prevention, maintaining good personal hygiene is key. Regularly clean under the foreskin to keep the glans clean. Wear breathable underwear, especially during the summer, and try to minimize visits to public baths and swimming pools. If the foreskin is long, the incidence of balanoposthitis tends to be higher, and surgical removal may be considered.
