Is the cost of post-foreskin surgery for balanitis high?

Patient's question:

Hypospadias has led to balanoposthitis. It's been five days now, and tomorrow I'll be exposed to red light and intravenous fluids. Tomorrow it will cost 500 yuan. Can I avoid these treatments?

Doctor's answer:

Hypospadias can easily lead to balanoposthitis. Circumcision can be performed to prevent the frequent recurrence of inflammation. Postoperative anti-inflammatory treatment is required, such as oral anti-inflammatory drugs and intravenous fluids. You can choose to take oral medication or receive anti-inflammatory injections. Red light is not necessary. Intravenous fluids are usually administered for three days post-surgery. For patients with balanoposthitis, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
