Patient's question:
My child is 19 years old and has been carefully diagnosed with balanitis. How could they get this disease at such a young age? How is balanitis treated?Doctor's answer:
The condition of balanitis is caused by bacterial infection, which is often related to excessive foreskin. Excessive foreskin can lead to the accumulation of smegma and bacteria, which may result in infection. It is recommended that you take your child for a circumcision. For patients, if the balanitis condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of balanitis. Additionally, patients should maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
