Patient's question:
Candidal balanitis tends to recur easily. Excessive foreskin, does it require a circumcision surgery? Currently, the medication is effective. How long should one stop taking the medication, and can the surgery be performed only if the condition does not flare up?Doctor's answer:
Schedule an appointment with the urology department for a circumcision surgery. It's an outpatient procedure with local anesthesia, and you can be treated as soon as you arrive. There are generally three surgical methods: traditional cutting and suture, stapler, and now stapler is more commonly used as it's non-scarring and promotes faster recovery. However, some hospitals still use traditional cutting and suture to control costs. I strongly advise you to go to a public hospital. The total cost usually does not exceed 2,000 yuan. You should always maintain a positive mindset to face the disease, as this can only reduce the patient's immunity and the belief in fighting the disease. At the same time, pay close attention to your dietary care.
