Patient's question:
When I noticed some redness on my foreskin, it was already a bit painful to touch, and besides the slight swelling, my wife said it was balanitis. She has been complaining that it's more difficult to treat the condition now because I didn't get a circumcision earlier.Doctor's answer:
Preventive Measures and Care:(1) Pay attention to local hygiene. Wash the glans and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, seek timely treatment, and consider circumcision if necessary. It is essential to clean the smegma promptly.
(2) If one partner has a genital disease, sexual activity should be suspended, and timely treatment is required. If the infection is caused by trichomoniasis or Candida, both partners should be treated simultaneously.
(3) Avoid unsafe sex and maintain a clean lifestyle. In addition to seeking timely treatment for male genital diseases, patients should always face the illness with a positive attitude. Only then can their immunity be boosted and their will to fight the disease strengthened. At the same time, they should pay close attention to dietary care, focusing on light foods and avoiding irritating or cold foods, believing that this will surely drive away male genital diseases.
