Patient's question:
Phimosis balanitis with severe edema, after going to the hospital and using hydrocortisone ointment for treatment, the edema subsided. Now there is severe itching of the foreskin. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
For balanoposthitis, if the symptoms are severe, after using anti-inflammatory drugs to suppress the symptoms, it is still recommended to undergo circumcision. This can allow the condition to heal on its own and prevent the recurrence of symptoms such as itching. Balanoposthitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication treatment. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to limit sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
