Patient's question:
First, my glans just appeared some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed some blisters appearing on it, of different sizes, and they are getting more and more. This is not normal, is it balanitis? Please ask: What are the causes of balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis is associated with various factors, which can be divided into infectious and non-infectious factors. Under normal circumstances, the foreskin sac can harbor a large number of bacteria, yeasts, and spirochetes. However, when local or systemic resistance weakens, these microorganisms can become sepsis pathogens. Based on bacterial infection, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus, followed by Candida. Trichomonas, mycoplasma, chlamydia, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae can also cause balanoposthitis. Daily routines should include regular sleep patterns, adequate warmth and cold prevention, a diet rich in light, soft, and liquid foods, good ventilation, and drinking plenty of hot water to ensure the condition does not recur.
