Patient's question:
I always feel a strong itch down there, and sometimes it even hurts when I urinate. People told me I have balanitis. I feel this condition is very embarrassing, and I feel extremely ashamed. I want to buy some medicine. What is the best medicine for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally, this situation is treated by scrubbing with a solution of potassium permanganate. Additionally, it is recommended to drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and produce more urine to flush the glans penis and urethra. It is also important to avoid spicy and irritating foods, prevent fatigue and staying up late. If there is phimosis, consider undergoing circumcision. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay more attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
