Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that blisters have also appeared on it, varying in size and increasing in number. This situation doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: How should balanitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
The causes of balanitis include: infectious factors often result from unsafe sexual contact, transmitting Candida albicans, trichomonas, chlamydia, mycoplasma, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria; non-infectious factors are mostly due to excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, and the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, which can irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, leading to inflammation again. Different causes require different treatment methods. It is recommended that you actively seek a follow-up consultation at the department of reproductive infections in the hospital and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to local hygiene, drink more water, and avoid unsafe sexual contact.
