Patient's question:
I'm going to the hospital. I have phimosis, and I know very little about this condition. I clean it every day, but my classmates say I have a smell. I want to solve this quickly. What factors can cause odor in balanitis?Doctor's answer:
In your case, considering cleanliness and hygiene, as well as conditions like excessive foreskin that may lead to balanitis, symptoms such as redness, swelling, and odor are common. It is recommended to undergo a discharge test and use antibiotics such as cefuroxime, as well as heat-clearing and dampness-dispelling medications, and topical treatments like Skin. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan, use medications appropriately, and also adopt good lifestyle habits and dietary practices during the treatment.
