Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I've been feeling itchy and slightly swollen on my glans for a few days. I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it's balanitis caused by excessive foreskin. He suggested I have a small surgery. What I want to consult about is how to deal with balanitis. Could you please give me some guidance? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
The balanitis you have encountered is caused by excessive foreskin, so undergoing a circumcision surgery can prevent the recurrence of balanitis in the future. In other words, daily cleaning to prevent inflammation is not fundamentally effective. After the surgery, this condition will never occur again. Therefore, a minor surgery can resolve the issue. No need to worry. The above information can serve as a reference.
