Patient's question:
In the hospital, the doctor gave me Jie'er Yin to mix with water and soak the entire glans. However, when I put it in, it felt extremely painful, as if it was due to anti-inflammatory effects. Doctor, is this a normal reaction?Doctor's answer:
Consider that the skin and mucous membrane of the glans are delicate, thin, and sensitive. The irritation caused by the medication is a normal phenomenon. It is recommended that you pay attention to personal hygiene, bathe frequently, and change your underwear often. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy and irritating foods. Avoid smoking and alcohol. Engage in appropriate exercise and maintain a cheerful mood. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals in a timely manner. Treatment should be considered based on detailed examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
