Patient's question:
I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I noticed some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be similar to balanitis. Is it serious? Will it cause any problems? Please ask: How is balanitis best treated?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis and balanitis, if not treated promptly or improperly, can easily recur or spread to other areas such as the urethra, prostate, and other parts, increasing the difficulty of treatment. However, since the specific causes and infectious pathogens vary, the treatment methods differ. Blind medication can easily lead to drug resistance and worsen the condition. It is recommended to visit a formal urological hospital for follow-up treatment. Through relevant tests such as urine, secretions, and culture, a definitive diagnosis can be made, followed by targeted treatment. Additionally, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of warm water, and strictly prohibit sexual activity. Wishing you a speedy recovery! For those with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should adhere to medication and maintain a healthy lifestyle, avoiding overexertion and paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
