Patient's question:
I got a check-up last week and found balanitis, and it seems to be getting worse recently, with some bleeding and discharge, and it looks like there are also blisters. Is the condition getting serious? Please ask: How can the balanitis and redness be confirmed?Doctor's answer:
Post-coital phimosis with redness and swelling. Your condition can be treated at home: gently wash the penis with warm water, using a minimal amount of soap, and ensure it is thoroughly cleaned. Wear loose-fitting underwear. Avoid touching the penis for 1-2 weeks to give it time to rest, and it will gradually improve. While cleaning and resting, you can take anti-inflammatory medication to prevent infection. If the redness and swelling do not improve after resting, you should see a doctor. Phimosis can be healed, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet during treatment. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
