Patient's question:
I am 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 to prevent and treat balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms may have the potential for inflammatory infection. If you have phimosis, it is possible that chronic stimulation from long-term urine and smegma could lead to inflammatory infection. The inflammation can spread downward along the reproductive tract and can also be transmitted to sexual partners during intercourse. Additionally, it may cause premature ejaculation. From the perspective of preventing transmission and significantly improving sexual quality of life, it is recommended to undergo surgery at an early stage. Also, pay attention to local hygiene, maintain dryness, and wear cotton underwear. During treatment, patients need to follow a disciplined diet, maintain regular routines, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
