Does balanitis require surgical treatment?

Patient's question:

Red spots have appeared on the glans, with redness and swelling. The condition has not improved despite medication. Is surgical treatment required for balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, balanoposthitis is mainly caused by inadequate local hygiene or phimosis. If you have phimosis, it is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for examination and treatment. First, let the inflammation subside, and then you can undergo a circumcision procedure. Additionally, you need to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. I believe everyone knows that balanoposthitis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid consuming irritating foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Moreover, regular follow-up visits can be scheduled when necessary.
