Patient's question:
Because of the balanitis caused by excessive foreskin, it's just that the surface of the glans is not smooth, without pain or other symptoms. It's very painful, so I want to consult on how to treat it. How should balanitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment methods for balanitis, first and foremost, the main cause of balanitis is excessive foreskin or phimosis. Due to the inability to clean the area frequently, the shedding of keratinized epithelium and the secretion of glands create a favorable environment for other bacteria, leading to chronic inflammation. Currently, in addition to systemic antibacterial medication for penile balanitis, local cleaning should be performed. Two to three times a day, oral anti-inflammatory medication can be taken, such as norfloxacin. If the foreskin is excessively long, after this condition is resolved, circumcision can be considered.
