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 like balanitis. Is it serious? Will there be any problem? Please ask: Where is the best place to treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Acute superficial balanitis, generally caused by excessive foreskin, where the secretion of the inner foreskin cannot be cleared promptly and thoroughly, allowing pathogens to grow and adapt locally, leading to inflammation. Symptoms may include: redness, swelling, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a bad odor.In daily life, it’s important to maintain a light diet, and currently, it’s advisable to avoid sexual activity to prevent prolonged sitting. Engage in appropriate exercise, wear loose underwear, and relax your mind. If the condition is severe, seek medical examination and treatment. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular sexual life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
