Patient's question:
I have had balanitis for a long time, but I haven't gone to see a doctor because I don't have money. I have two children to support, but recently it really hurts, and it seems like I can't avoid treatment anymore. However, the cost stops me. How much does it cost to treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
In general, the treatment for balanitis (inflammation of the glans) in banks is relatively simple. It usually involves using a dissolved potassium permanganate solution for sterilization by scrubbing, or alternatively, an iodophor solution can be used for simple scrubbing and sterilization. Antibiotic medications can also be taken. It is important to maintain local hygiene and reduce local irritation. If there is phimosis (reduced foreskin retraction), circumcision surgery can be considered. If only simple medication treatment is required, the treatment cost is generally around 100-200 yuan, and the cost of circumcision surgery is around 1,000-2,000 yuan.
