Patient's question:
I've been having frequent dissatisfaction with my sex life recently. Either I can't get erect, or if I do, it's too short to have sex, making it impossible to engage in sexual activity. I'm feeling very frustrated. Could you please advise?Doctor's answer:
Red spots on the glans are a typical symptom of balanitis, which refers to inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans. Based on a thorough examination, medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor for standardized treatment. Personal hygiene should also be paid attention to prevent recurrence and transmission. The glans can be washed with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution locally, and the external genital area should always be kept dry. Glans itching is curable, but the treatment period is usually long, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment plan, appropriate medication, and avoiding prolonged sitting or riding are essential. Patients should pay attention to personal hygiene. It is hoped that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
