Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came home at night, I noticed a red ring on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. At the time, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. Please ask: What are the professional hospitals for treating balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Acute superficial balanitis, initially characterized by local redness, the skin of the penis becomes red and swollen, with a sensation of burning and itching on the glans. Ring-shaped purulent balanitis presents with erythema on the glans and foreskin, gradually extending in a ring formation, potentially forming superficial ulcers. Candidal balanitis is characterized by erythema on the foreskin and glans, with a smooth surface and small vesicles. The edges of the erythema are well-defined, and during acute recurrences, there may be desquamation and exudation. Balanitis tends to recur frequently, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to actively seek diagnosis from professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
