Patient's question:
I have balanitis and candidiasis, and I have seen a doctor. The doctor said it was candidal balanitis and prescribed me a week's worth of Cefixime tablets, B2 tablets for life, and Cephalexin capsules. In addition to the topical boric acid solution, how is balanitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis refers to a condition where the penis skin of an adult man tightly covers the glans, preventing it from fully exposing. It can be divided into true phimosis and false phimosis. True phimosis is when the glans cannot fully expose even when the penis is erect. False phimosis refers to a condition where the glans cannot fully expose in a normal state, but can fully expose when the penis is erect. Phimosis, on the other hand, is when the foreskin completely tightly covers the glans, with the glans never able to expose at any time.Experts from Zhengzhou Sunshine Urology Hospital kindly remind that phimosis is not a serious problem, but what is alarming is when men are unaware of it, mistakenly considering it a minor issue and neglecting treatment. Therefore, men should be more vigilant about this condition.
