Patient's question:
My foreskin has always been too long, and now I've noticed it's swollen with red spots. I'm afraid to scratch it because it will break open. The smell is noticeable even from a distance. The doctor carefully examined it and said it's balanitis. First, we need to treat the inflammation, and then we can have the foreskin removed. Can balanitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
It can be cured. The treatment methods for balanitis should be targeted at the cause of inflammation, so they vary from person to person. The doctor will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on the individual patient's condition, the impact on their daily life, and any other health issues they may have. Long-term oral medication is required. Additionally, male patients should actively seek professional and reputable medical treatment, considering treatment only after thorough examination results. It is also important to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
