Patient's question:
I would like to ask how to use skin wash solution to treat balanitis? It needs to be diluted by how many times, but it's not mentioned in the instructions. I have been using it by diluting it dozens of times, but it doesn't seem to work, and I still have smegma. When the doctor first prescribed the medicine, I didn't know what it was for. I wonder if it's to prevent irritation to the urethra after washing with the solution, because every time I wash my glans, I have a stinging sensation when urinating. There are many questions, please help me explain them one by one. Thank you very very much.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description of symptoms, it is not ruled out that there may be a urinary tract infection. Simply using wipes may not be effective. I suggest you have a thorough examination of urethral secretions to rule out bacterial urethritis. Pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life, change underwear frequently, reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, drink more hot water, and wash clothes and family items separately. Avoid sexual activity during this period. Wishing you a speedy recovery!For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
