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 also yellow discharge from my glans. Is this likely balanitis? I'm asking: How can balanitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description and presentation, it is possible that you may have penile pearls. 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 pearls. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to use medication that suits your condition during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. I hope male patients can recover as soon as possible.
