Patient's question:
Before, I had been using medication to treat balanitis by spraying and applying it. Please help me check if it has healed. My foreskin is long, and there were originally some reddish, fleshy patches, but they have mostly disappeared now. Is this considered healed? The redness and swelling at the urethral opening have also improved, but I feel there's a small lump-like growth. Is it still not healed? It doesn't hurt or itch. Does it affect sexual activity?Doctor's answer:
As the picture shows, there are no obvious redness or swelling. If there are no significant symptoms, you may not need to focus on medication.It is recommended that currently, no obvious weak or swollen masses have been detected. Pay attention to maintaining local cleanliness and changing underwear frequently. This will definitely not affect future health.
Phimosis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
