Penile balanitis, if left untreated for too long, can lead to infection. Can it be treated with medication?

Patient's question:

Phimosis lasting for two or three years without proper care has led to a bacterial infection. I went to a private hospital, Wuzhou Hospital, where I have been treated eight times. They said that I have achieved 50-60% recovery and still need three to four more treatments. Each treatment costs 2,800 yuan. Can it not be treated with medication?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your situation, you may have been taken advantage of by a private hospital. You might be experiencing balanitis caused by excessive foreskin. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a regular hospital. If you do not have balanitis, but it is indeed caused by excessive foreskin, you can consider circumcision as a treatment.
It is not scary to have balanitis. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as treatment is sought in the early stages, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
