Patient's question:
Male, I am 28 and I noticed that my glans seems to have some blisters, red and swollen. The hospital examination said this is balanitis. I haven't done much, but how did I get this disease? Please ask: What are the treatments for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
1. Balanoposthitis refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans penis. Local treatment can be applied with anti-inflammatory ointment. For allergic balanoposthitis, oral antihistamines and topical ointment should be used.2. Circumcision may be considered: If phimosis or foreskin edema prevents movement and washing, or if drainage is poor, and inflammation does not subside with general treatment, a dorsal slit may be performed to facilitate drainage. Circumcision should be performed after the inflammation has completely resolved.
