Patient's question:
I am 18 years old, and the area where the glans and foreskin connect has been itchy for three or four days. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said I had balanitis. I felt very surprised because I pay great attention to personal hygiene. What kind of help I need: What should I do if I have balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Most cases of balanoposthitis are caused by excessive foreskin, as the foreskin can accumulate a large amount of bacteria and dirt, leading to inflammation, which manifests as local redness, swelling, and increased secretions. It is recommended to use Jieryin solution for local cleaning. If the foreskin is excessive, surgical removal should be considered, and a urinalysis and secretion test may be necessary if needed. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
