Patient's question:
Today, I visited the dermatology department and saw a chief physician. He said it's not a sexually transmitted disease but balanitis, and then prescribed these two medications for me. He also mentioned that once you've had it once, it's easy to get it again. Hello, what type of balanitis is this? Is it serious? What should I pay attention to in terms of diet? Can I eat lobster?Doctor's answer:
According to what you mentioned, this condition of balanitis is quite common. This is just balanitis caused by bacterial infection, which is a very common phenomenon. As long as you maintain good hygiene and apply some antibacterial ointment a few times, it won't interfere with your normal life. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
