Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and they are particularly red and rough. Lately, when I urinate, there is always a white discharge coming out, and it's itchy. I went to see a doctor and was told it's glans inflammation. Please ask: What are the treatment methods for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
The common causes of balanitis include transmission through unclean sexual activity, excessive foreskin, penetration of pathogenic microorganisms, and poor local hygiene. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, especially local cleanliness, maintain a regular lifestyle, eat a light diet, and drink plenty of water. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Timely examination of external genital secretions, bacterial culture, and other related tests in a formal urological hospital is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Based on the examination results, follow the doctor's advice and cooperate with treatment. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
