Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that blisters of varying sizes have also appeared, and they are getting more and more. This doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: What are the causes of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis-induced balanoposthitis is caused by excessive foreskin, as the secretions cannot be cleaned promptly due to the excess foreskin, allowing pathogens to grow and adapt in this area, leading to local inflammation. Symptoms include: redness, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a foul odor.The solution is as follows: if it is mild, you can regularly clean it with clean water; if it is severe, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis before treatment; if it recurs frequently, it is best to undergo circumcision, which can prevent the recurrence of balanoposthitis.
In daily life, it is necessary to maintain a regular schedule, ensure adequate warmth, eat light and soft foods, keep the area ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water to ensure that the condition does not recur.
