Patient's question:
Male, I am 27 and 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 special, but how did I get this disease? Please ask: What are the treatment methods for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Treatment methods for balanoposthitis include:1. Balanoposthitis refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans penis. Local anti-inflammatory creams can be used for treatment. For allergic balanoposthitis, oral antihistamines and topical creams are required.
2. Circumcision may be considered: If phimosis or foreskin edema makes it difficult to move and clean, or if drainage is poor, and inflammation does not subside with standard treatment, a dorsal slit may be performed to facilitate drainage. Circumcision should be performed after the inflammation has completely resolved.
