Patient's question:
I had balanitis and it was feeling like it was getting better, but on the third day, it worsened again. I have been smoking and staying up late. Is it because of these reasons that it caused this?Doctor's answer:
The condition of balanitis keeps recurring, mostly because the correct treatment method hasn't been found, or because the patient has phimosis and hasn't undergone surgery, leading to the recurrence of the condition. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for follow-up treatment and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of experts, which can be cured in the short term. Pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
