Balanitis

For the love of God, stay away from mainsteam MDs if you are not circumcised and have any problem. This is a circumcising culture, most Americans are cut, and when doctors see an infection, the "solution" is usually to cut off this normal body part. But you will live to regret it.

No doctor would suggest that a woman with chronic or acute infection of the external genitalia have the infected parts cut off. But for males, the drastic "solution" of circumcision is sometimes recommended. All too often, I would say. If I knew this man, I would look at his daily diet, recommend changes and prescribe herbs to be used both internally and externally. If diet seems healthful enough, I would inquire as to hygiene.

This is not exactly the same, but I did treat a child with a foreskin infection/inflammation with golden seal taken as a tea, and as an external wash. Sugar was taken out of the diet. There has been no recurrence. That&#39s right, I&#39m only a mother and maybe this man&#39s condition is more serious, I don&#39t know. Thank you for letting me have my say in this matter.
