How to treat balanitis

Balanitis can be improved by general treatment, drug treatment, and surgical treatment. Sexual intercourse should be avoided during treatment, and couples should be treated at the same time if necessary.

Pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life, especially the local cleaning of external genitalia. Wash the area with clean water every day. Open the foreskin when cleaning. Do not use irritating detergents.

Clotrimazole cream, betamethasone cream and other topical drugs can be used for treatment as directed by the doctor. If necessary, amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets, metronidazole tablets and other drugs can also be taken orally under the guidance of a doctor.

Under normal circumstances, excessive foreskin or phimosis is an important factor in the occurrence of balanitis, which can lead to recurrence of the disease. Therefore, patients still need to undergo circumcision under the guidance of a doctor.

Balanitis can cause patients to experience some uncomfortable symptoms and requires active medical treatment to prevent the condition from gradually worsening and affecting normal life and work.
