Patient's question:
I'm only 18 years old this year, and I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I noticed some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be similar to balanitis. Is it serious? Will there be any problems? Please ask: How is balanitis treated? There is some peeling and itching.Doctor's answer:
According to the information provided by the patient, the most common cause of balanitis is excessive foreskin. It is recommended that the patient first confirm whether they have excessive foreskin. If they do, surgical treatment is generally required. For simple balanitis, low-concentration potassium permanganate solution can be used for soaking to alleviate symptoms. During the treatment period, patients should follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
