Patient's question:
How should balanitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Balanitis is the most common type of penile condition affecting the glans and foreskin. Nearly all patients have phimosis or excessive foreskin. Between the glans and the overhanging foreskin, shed epithelial cells, glandular secretions, and smegma bacteria create a warm, moist bacterial breeding ground. Once bacteria enter, it can lead to inflammation.Go to a reputable Grade 3A hospital. Don’t go to those so-called specialized clinics—they’re all scams. I recommend using symptomatic medication, which can relieve the condition within 2 weeks. This medication is originally oral, but it’s very effective for treating this disease internally. After relief, you still need to pay more attention to maintaining hygiene, frequently cleaning the penis, and changing underwear often.
