Patient's question:
Can balanitis be cured? Which hospital is better to go to? My glans has red rashes, burning, itching, and the foreskin and glans peel off when I rub them with my hands, like the dust that comes off when taking a bath. I've been to several hospitals, but nothing has worked, and they couldn't identify any contagious disease. Some doctors said it's normal and that there's no need for treatment. Others said it's a fungal infection and prescribed some medication, but it had no effect at all. It's been two years now, and it hasn't improved or eased at all. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Considering the symptoms you are experiencing are due to balanitis. It is recommended that you go to a regular public hospital for a thorough examination and laboratory tests to diagnose the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to hygiene, exercise moderately to boost your immunity, and wash and dry your underwear in the sun. During treatment, avoid sexual activity, and both partners should be treated simultaneously. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination.
