Patient's question:
Every two or three days, when I flip back the foreskin, many white discharge substances reappear. The hospital said it's balanitis and prescribed a bottle of ointment. Besides two boxes of cephalexin, after using it for half a month, there's been no effect at all. I want to ask: besides not other drugs, good drugs, I want the specific names of the drugs. Thank youDoctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis, balanoposthitis is generally caused by excessive foreskin, poor hygiene, and long-term stimulation of smegma. For non-surgical treatment, the effectiveness is often not significant, and the condition tends to recur repeatedly. In such cases, surgical intervention should be promptly adopted. The most common surgical method is circumcision. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
