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, is it balanitis? Please ask: what methods can be used to diagnose redness and swelling of the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Consider infections such as balanitis. The common causes of balanitis include transmission through unclean sexual activity and phimosis. Pathogenic microorganisms infiltrate, poor local hygiene, and other factors. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, especially local cleanliness, maintain a regular lifestyle, eat a light diet, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is important to promptly undergo relevant tests at a formal hospital, such as external genital discharge and bacterial culture, to identify the condition clearly. Treatment should be followed according to the doctor's advice. The condition of phimosis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is necessary to seek medical attention at a professional and formal hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the test results. Additionally, sexual activity should be restricted, and a positive mood should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
