What department should I go to for balanitis?

Patient's question:

Recurring balanoposthitis has appeared for several days, but I don't know which department to consult for treatment. Can I consult internal medicine during this period? And can I consult the urology department when getting a thorough examination at a urology hospital?

Doctor's answer:

Recurring stages of balanitis and phimosis should involve visiting the urology department. This stage also requires attention to internal medicine, as both can assist in better examination and treatment. After recurring balanitis and phimosis, timely treatment should be ensured to reduce the impact on the glans. If left untreated for a long time, it may not only cause peeling of the glans but also lead to increased sensitivity. It is essential to pay attention to local hygiene.
