Patient's question:
I am 34 years old this year. Last week, it seems I had a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came home that night, I noticed a red ring had appeared on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. What could be causing this balanitis?Doctor's answer:
If a man experiences recurrent balanitis, it is necessary to consult a urologist for treatment. The recurrence of balanitis is related to improper hygiene of the private area, excessive foreskin, or excessive sexual activity, which can lead to bacterial invasion of the and subsequent inflammation. Initially, symptomatic medication can be used for wet compresses, and local application of corticosteroid ointment can be applied for treatment. At the same time, identifying the cause and treating accordingly will be more effective. Additionally, in daily life, patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to improve physical fitness, and keep a positive mood to enhance their constitution. Good lifestyle habits can also help in preventing diseases.
