Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I have developed balanitis and phimosis, which has been recurring without resolution. What could be the reason for this? Is it possible that it's due to not being circumcised?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, for balanoposthitis, it is recommended that you use a 15,000 potassium permanganate solution for soaking and apply an anti-inflammatory ointment. For allergic balanoposthitis, oral antihistamines and topical corticosteroid ointments should be used. If due to phimosis or edema of the prepuce, it is not possible to move for soaking or drainage is poor, and the inflammation does not subside after general treatment, preputial dorsal slit surgery can be performed for drainage. After the inflammation completely subsides, circumcision can be performed. For patients with a prepuce, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated in a timely manner, it will affect health.
