Patient's question:
Respected Doctor,I have had balanitis for about 20 years since I was around 20. If I don’t clean it for two days, there is a strong odor and white discharge. I have been to the hospital several times, and the doctors said it was a minor issue, prescribing some cleaning solution to wash it off. However, it keeps recurring and never gets better. Yesterday, I went to the urology hospital in my city, intending to get a proper examination. But after the tests, the doctor said it had become stubborn and recommended a circumcision. He also mentioned that there were many nodules and that the condition was near blood vessels, with toxins spreading from the urethra to the prostate. He then suggested I undergo pulse therapy. Since I was admitted to the hospital yesterday, I’ve already spent thousands of dollars, and they’re telling me I still need pulse therapy. I feel like I’m being misled.
I would like to ask respected professionals: Is it necessary to undergo pulse detoxification? It costs 2,000 per session, and my salary isn’t very high. Yesterday alone, I’ve already spent...
Doctor's answer:
As you mentioned, the situation is mainly caused by excessive foreskin. The long-term moist environment of the foreskin covering the glans can lead to this fungal balanitis. Regarding the treatment you mentioned, it is not necessary to do so. The most important thing for you now is to have a circumcision surgery. Then, you need to take anti-inflammatory medication for a few days and change the dressing many times to ensure the wound heals completely. After the surgery, this balanitis will never occur again.As for your prostatitis issue, it can also be treated with intravenous fluids. Since the balanitis condition is severe, it is recommended that patients seek timely treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
The above advice is hoped to assist you. Thank you.
