Patient's question:
Due to excessive foreskin, the glans has become inflamed. If it is washed frequently, there are no symptoms. After several days without washing, it becomes inflamed, develops small red spots, and feels a bit itchy. It really bothers me. What treatments should I persist with for my balanitis?Doctor's answer:
The dirty substances between the foreskin and the glans will accumulate. This will irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, leading to recurrent inflammation. It is recommended that you visit a formal and professional urological hospital for relevant examinations to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Without a clear understanding of the cause, do not blindly use medication to avoid adverse effects. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
