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: Frequently clean and rinse the foreskin and glans, always keeping the foreskin cavity clean and dry. Pay attention to good hygiene habits in daily life. 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 more severe, seek effective treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
