Patient's question:
Hello! I noticed patches on my glans with different colors, and there's a white substance around the edge of the glans that won't wash off. Is this a sign of balanitis? If it is, could you please tell me what are the proper ways to treat glans redness and swelling?Doctor's answer:
Hello; According to your condition, this may be due to excessive prepuce of the glans, leading to the continuous accumulation of smegma in the glans area, accompanied by balanitis. In daily life, it is important to avoid mental stress and get adequate rest. It is also recommended to maintain good hygiene in the perineal area to alleviate inflammation and redness of the glans. However, the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
