Patient's question:
In the past three or four months, I've been experiencing pain and swelling in my glans, and after a thorough examination at the hospital, I was told it's balanitis. I'm very concerned. What kind of help do I need: What are the treatment and prevention measures for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Preventive measures: Clean and dry the foreskin and glans regularly to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. Pay attention to good hygiene habits. Circumcision, especially for those with phimosis (where the foreskin cannot be retracted), is an effective preventive measure. If the condition is detected, gently retract and clean the foreskin at the affected area, use appropriate antibiotics, and it often heals within a few days. If the condition is severe, seek effective treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
