Patient's question:
I have swelling of the foreskin. Is the prescription of Shen'an Capsules effective for this? How can foreskin swelling be treated most effectively?Doctor's answer:
Shen'an Capsule is generally used for conditions like nephritis and urinary tract infections. If your balanitis is caused by a viral or bacterial infection, taking this medication may be somewhat effective. It is recommended that since the medication has already been prescribed, you should try taking it. If it doesn't work after three days, you should return to the hospital for a thorough examination to determine the exact cause and then receive targeted treatment. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
