How can balanitis be cured?

Patient's question:

At the connection between my foreskin and glans, it looks a bit like a thick discharge, slightly swollen, with white-yellowish color. It doesn't itch or hurt, but it's very uncomfortable. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it's a symptom of balanitis. As long as you pay more attention to hygiene and have restrained sexual activity, taking medication will help. What should I do about balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Some men suffer from balanitis, and when the inflammation recurs, applying some antibiotic-based anti-inflammatory ointments can help, such as calamine lotion and erythromycin, fluconazole, and cefaclor capsules. It is important to pay attention to cleaning and maintaining hygiene. Additionally, try retracting the foreskin to fully expose the glans, reducing the production of secretions and preventing the recurrence of inflammation. Wishing you good health. Balanitis can be quite severe, and patients are advised to seek timely and symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to personal care and maintain a proper diet to avoid worsening the condition.
