Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable down there for a while, it's both painful and itchy, and my glans seems particularly red and a bit swollen. The odor is especially unpleasant, and there's yellow discharge from my glans. Is this likely balanitis? I'm asking: How should balanitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description and presentation, it is possible that you may have penile pearly papules. I suggest not to worry too much. You can describe it in more detail, and I will help you identify whether it is indeed penile pearly papules. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications that are appropriate for your condition during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay close attention to personal hygiene. I hope male patients can recover as soon as possible.
