Patient's question:
My husband discovered small red spots on his glans while taking a bath by accident. He didn't pay much attention at the time, but a few days later, it became very itchy. He went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found out it was balanitis. Now he is very upset and doesn't know if it can be cured. His mood is also very low. Is balanitis difficult to treat?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is not very difficult to treat. Phimosis can be treated using topical creams or by taking some anti-inflammatory medications. If a thorough examination confirms phimosis, it is best to avoid spicy and irritating foods in your diet, as this may worsen the condition. Instead, try to eat a light diet and maintain good hygiene habits. Clean the glans frequently to prevent the growth of bacteria.
