Patient's question:
I got a check-up last week and found that I have balanitis. It seems to be getting worse recently, with some bleeding and discharge, and it looks like there are also blisters. Is the condition getting serious? Please ask: What types of food should I avoid with red and swollen glans?Doctor's answer:
This may be a symptom of balanitis. Your condition is likely due to excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, and recurrent inflammation of the foreskin and mucosa. The most fundamental solution is to undergo a circumcision. Don't worry too much—focus on careful observation. In addition to maintaining good personal hygiene and changing underwear frequently, avoid using various ointments and powders, as they may worsen the condition. For severe systemic symptoms, antibiotics can be added for treatment. For patients with red and swollen glans, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
