Patient's question:
A 32-year-old male, I noticed that my glans seems to have some blisters, red and swollen. The hospital examination said this is balanitis. I haven't done anything, how did I get this disease? Please ask: What does balanitis mean?Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis refers to a disease caused by bacterial infection and fungal invasion of the foreskin and glans when hygiene is not maintained properly. It may be due to excessive foreskin, improper cleaning, or transmission through unsafe sexual practices. Frequent sexual activity can also lead to the recurrence of the disease. Additionally, in daily life, patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies, and maintain a positive mood to enhance their immunity and accelerate recovery.
