Patient's question:
I am only 18 years old this year, and I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I noticed some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be balanitis. Is it serious? Will it cause any problems? Please ask: How can balanitis be treated most effectively?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is often caused by the transmission of bacteria such as fungi, chlamydia, mycoplasma, herpes, etc., sometimes it is caused by excessive foreskin. Poor personal hygiene leads to the penis head being infected with bacteria, fungi, or other pathogens. The skin of the penis head may also be irritated by chemicals such as soap or detergent, which can trigger reinfection. Men should be cautious. For patients with phimosis itching, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated in time, it may affect the overall health condition. 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.
