Patient's question:
I am only 18 years old this year, and I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I found some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be balanitis. Is it serious? Will there be any problems? Please ask: How can I treat balanitis well?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is a recurring inflammation of the glans penis caused by bacterial infection. The treatment varies depending on the type of bacteria involved. It is recommended that you visit a formal hospital for a thorough examination to diagnose the specific bacterial cause of your balanitis. For patients with candidal balanitis, symptomatic medication can be used, followed by applying symptomatic medication to the affected area. For trichomoniasis infection, a 0.5% acetic acid solution can be used for cleaning, and then an anti-inflammatory ointment can be applied for treatment. Specific treatment should be followed according to medical advice.
