Patient's question:
Male, 32 years old, I got a physical examination last week and found balanitis. It seems to be getting worse recently, with some bleeding and discharge, and it looks like there are also blisters. Is the condition getting serious? Please ask: What are the most suitable treatments for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you described, it should be classified as balanoposthitis. It generally manifests as redness of the foreskin and glans, red spots or erythema, itching, white discharge, thickening of the local skin and mucous membranes, and in some cases, it may cause the foreskin to be unable to retract. If the foreskin is overgrown, it is advisable to undergo circumcision promptly. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination in a reputable tertiary hospital as soon as possible based on their specific condition. Only in this way can they receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
