Patient's question:
First, let's start. My glans penis initially appeared with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently, I noticed that there were also blisters on it, varying in size, and they are becoming more numerous. This situation doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: what are the examination items and costs for balanitis at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
From the symptoms you described, it is likely that the discomfort is caused by the suture after surgery. This consideration is made with absorbable thread, also known as self-dissolving thread, which will absorb on its own.For the examination of balanitis (inflammation of the glans penis), what should be checked? Your situation does not need to worry. The thread you used is absorbable, so there is no need to remove it. After 3 months, the suture will naturally dissolve and absorb, meaning it will disappear from your body. Since the doctor said there is no need to remove the thread, you don’t need to worry about it. Just take care of the wound and prevent it from getting infected.
Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment cycle is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor’s medication plan during treatment.
