Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that blisters have also appeared on it, varying in size and increasing in number. This situation doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: How to treat the initial stage of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis is often associated with phimosis, excessive prepuce, and bacterial infections. It can lead to symptoms such as redness, ulcers, and erosion, and may also interfere with sexual life. Individuals can frequently use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. For phimosis and excessive prepuce, surgical intervention is recommended. The condition of the prepuce tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity are important. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
