Patient's question:
I am only 18 years old this year, and I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I found some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be balanitis. Is it serious? Will there be any problems? Please ask: How can balanitis be treated most effectively?Doctor's answer:
Penile inflammation is often caused by infections from bacteria such as molds, chlamydia, mycoplasma, herpes, etc., or sometimes it is due to excessive foreskin. Poor personal hygiene can lead to bacterial, fungal, or other pathogen infections in the glans penis. Additionally, irritation from chemicals like soap or detergent can also trigger recurrent infections. Men should be cautious. For individuals experiencing glans itching, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay attention to preventing overexertion and maintaining good personal hygiene in daily life. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
