Patient's question:
I have had balanitis for a while. How should it be treated, and what are the precautions to be taken during treatment?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for balanitis and posthitis, if it is based on dryness and scaling, corticosteroid ointment can be used. For disordered conditions, a solution can be used for washing. If there is phimosis, it is timely to go to the hospital for circumcision surgery. During treatment, pay close attention to personal hygiene, avoid spicy food and beer, and temporarily avoid sexual activity. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy food.
