Patient's question:
I might have balanitis in my glans, and yesterday I had a follow-up visit at a urology hospital. The doctor there didn't address the inflammation but instead recommended that I have my foreskin removed. After the procedure, he told me that there were toxins in my glans and that I needed to detoxify, so he inserted a tube into my rectum, claiming it would help with detoxification.Have I been taken advantage of in this situation?
Doctor's answer:
If there is balanitis caused by phimosis leading to recurrent occurrences, surgical treatment can be considered. Temporarily, it is necessary to pay attention to local topical use of PP powder, sitz baths, and maintain local hygiene for symptomatic anti-infection treatment. In the future, it is important to follow up at regular hospitals to prevent situations. If there are other discomforts, clinical diagnosis and further examinations should be combined to confirm the diagnosis and adopt comprehensive evaluation measures for treatment to restore health.
