Patient's question:
I noticed that my glans seems to have some blisters, red and swollen. The hospital examination said it was balanitis. I didn't do much, but how did I get this disease? Please ask: What are the factors causing the redness and swelling of the glans?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the main consideration is balanoposthitis. Balanoposthitis is a common external genital disease in men. It is divided into balanitis and posthitis. Because they often occur simultaneously, it is called balanoposthitis. It can be infectious or non-infectious. Due to the inflammatory stimulation, it can also spread upwards. It is recommended that you go to a formal specialized hospital for examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment to avoid missing the opportunity to treat the condition. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet. It is hoped that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
