Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing severe lower back pain, weakness in my limbs, poor long-term sleep, and a heavy, itchy sensation between my legs, specifically on the glans. There are some small red spots on the glans, like small rashes, which are very painful. I've tried various methods to get rid of them, but none have worked. After researching, I found that this could be a symptom of balanitis. How much does a pack of balanitis treatment cost?Doctor's answer:
If there is no history of unsafe sex, a thorough examination generally does not require significant expenses, usually just a couple of hundred yuan. For cases of common balanitis, the treatment involves soaking in a 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution and applying an anti-inflammatory ointment. For allergic balanoposthitis, oral antihistamines and topical corticosteroid ointments are necessary. The circumcision procedure should only be performed after the inflammation has completely subsided. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Patients should receive timely and appropriate treatment, avoid overexertion in daily life, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
