Patient's question:
First, my glans started to appear some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that there were also blisters on it, of different sizes, and they are getting more and more. This situation is not normal, is it balanitis? Please ask: What should I do for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is the inflammation of the glans penis. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. Treatment recommendations include applying potassium permanganate solution externally and taking amoxicillin and levofloxacin orally. It is advisable to avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol, pay attention to personal hygiene, and clean the external genitalia daily. If there is phimosis, circumcision may be necessary. The condition of phimosis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity are important. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
