What should I do if balanitis continues to heal?

Balanitis is a common disease. If you have balanitis, you should seek timely treatment. Some male patients will experience repeated attacks of the disease and feel very frustrated. The reason why it has not been cured may be, on the one hand, because the treatment is not formal enough, and on the other hand, it may be because of the problem of foreskin being too long. The most common reason is foreskin being too long. It is easy to cause balanitis and repeated attacks, so it is best to perform circumcision.

Why does balanitis not get better?

1. Due to improper treatment methods, such as too high concentration of potassium permanganate flushing solution, the glans is irritated and balanitis recurs. Therefore, patients must follow the doctor's instructions when receiving treatment for balanitis.

2. Many male patients feel that their symptoms are almost gone and they feel relatively good, so they stop taking medication. In fact, balanitis is not truly cured. Therefore, failure to adhere to medication will lead to a recurrence of balanitis. Having balanitis is not scary. The key is to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time. Delaying treatment will cause greater harm to the body.

3. The causes of balanitis are very complicated. Some are due to external environmental stimulation (such as soap, detergent, friction), some are due to adverse infections, and some are due to recurrence of balanitis caused by eating a lot of spicy and irritating foods.
