Patient's question:
Previously, I had a itchy glans and went to the hospital for medication, but it didn't get better. In the end, a doctor here suggested using ointment, and after using it for a few days, it healed. But now it seems to have returned. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Here is the English translation of the provided text, with the return characters kept as they are:"Looking at your photo, it appears to be a symptom of balanitis, which may be caused by excessive foreskin. It is recommended to apply ointment externally, and it should heal within a few days. However, this method may not be very effective for your type of balanitis. If you want a permanent solution, it is advisable to have circumcision. Otherwise, it will likely recur repeatedly. The condition of balanitis with itching tends to be prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication treatment. Additionally, for male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Furthermore, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, and pay attention to personal hygiene."
