What methods are there to treat balanitis?

Patient's question:

I have a slightly long foreskin. Six months ago, I had an unclean sexual encounter. After that, some white stuff has appeared intermittently on my glans, and it smells very bad and itches. I have to wash it every morning and evening.

Doctor's answer:

Possible balanoposthitis, a common condition. In fact, balanoposthitis doesn't require complex treatment—just daily cleaning with clean water, keeping the area dry, clean, and well-ventilated to maintain health.
The glans is slightly red and itchy, possibly indicating balanoposthitis, which is often related to excessive foreskin and poor hygiene.
Balanoposthitis is a common condition in urology. Generally, it doesn't require complex treatment—just daily cleaning with clean water, keeping the area dry, clean, and well-ventilated to maintain health.
During flare-ups, use traditional Chinese medicine for external washing based on syndrome differentiation. It is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine urology department at a large public general hospital.
