Patient's question:
My foreskin has always been quite long, and I have been practicing sexual intercourse since I was young. Sometimes I only take a bath every few days, and during baths, I retract my foreskin to clean the glans. At that time, I can smell a foul odor. Recently, I have been feeling itchy and red-swollen on my glans. I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was balanitis. I would like to ask how to treat balanitis.Doctor's answer:
Due to phimosis, there is balanitis. Because of phimosis, there are some dirt and bacteria inside, and due to not cleaning for a long time, inflammation has developed inside, which leads to balanitis. It is recommended to first take anti-inflammatory medication to control the inflammation, and then undergo surgery to remove the foreskin, which will solve the problem, in addition to timely treatment of balanitis.The patient should always maintain a positive attitude towards the disease, as this can enhance their immunity and strengthen their belief in fighting the illness.
