Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. A few days ago, I was just carefully diagnosed with balanitis. What should I pay attention to in my diet for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
If you have balanitis, it is first necessary to identify which pathogen is causing the infection. It is recommended that you conduct a culture of the secretions from the glans to determine the appropriate antibiotic for treatment. If the infection is bacterial, you can take oral levofloxacin. If it is caused by a fungal infection, you can apply an ointment for treatment. If you have phimosis, it is best to have the foreskin surgically removed first. Pay attention to hygiene, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from smoking and alcohol. Avoid having unprotected sex. Balanitis can be cured.
