Patient's question:
Condition Description: The head of my penis is red. It hurts when I pull down the foreskin with my hand. I went to see a doctor, and the doctor said it was caused by unsafe sexual behavior. Previous Treatment and Effect: There is still a lot of treatment now, and it got better after taking medicine.What Help I Want: I want to ask, my balanitis is still present now, and the head of my penis is still a bit red. When I pull down the foreskin directly, it doesn’t come down smoothly, but I can see the head of my penis peeking out. Is it true that after the balanitis heals, I must have a circumcision surgery for the head of my penis to come out? Is it true that balanitis can cause the foreskin to tighten? Previously, even without manual intervention, a lot of the head of my penis would peek out. Now the foreskin is tight. Is it true that balanitis can cause the foreskin to tighten? Even if the condition is cured, it won’t be like
Doctor's answer:
If there are symptoms of purulent discharge during the treatment of balanitis, you can first wipe away the pus, then soak the affected area in diluted Erlik for about a quarter of an hour. Even if the balanitis is cured, it does not necessarily mean that the inflammation will not recur. Therefore, the most permanent solution to balanitis is to undergo a circumcision procedure, so neither balanitis nor will bother you anymore. When using medication to treat balanitis, if the inflammation is no longer at an early stage, it is best to undergo intravenous treatment along with oral or topical medication. This can prevent the inflammation from worsening, leading to erosion or purulent discharge.
