Patient's question:
I got tested for a physical last week and found balanitis. It seems to be getting worse recently, with some bleeding and discharge, and it looks like there are also blisters. Is the condition getting serious? Please ask: Which good hospital can treat balanitis itching?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is likely that the condition is caused by balanitis (inflammation of the glans). In cases of phimosis (reduced foreskin retraction) or paraphimosis (inability to retract the foreskin), such substances can accumulate as smegma, irritating the foreskin and glans, leading to balanitis. It is recommended that you undergo a thorough examination to identify the causative pathogen and then actively treat the infection. If necessary, circumcision may be considered. Additionally, pay attention to local hygiene, change your underwear frequently, reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, and drink more warm water. Wishing you a speedy recovery.For patients with glans itching, timely treatment can help reduce the recurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life while maintaining good personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
