Patient's question:
The other day, my husband told me he got balanitis. He didn't feel anything before, and it didn't bother him during his period. Now that my period has ended, he keeps feeling like he needs to urinate. Did it spread to me? What should we do?Doctor's answer:
The female urethra is short and straight. Unhygienic sexual activity or if the partner has an inflammation can easily lead to urinary tract infections, which may cause recurrent urinary frequency and the urge to urinate. It is recommended to visit the urology department of a hospital for follow-up, actively treat the inflammation, such as with levofloxacin.The condition of balanitis often recurs and requires long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, proper diet and avoiding sexual activity are necessary.
