Patient's question:
I noticed that my glans seems to have some blisters, red and swollen. The hospital examination said it's balanitis. I didn't do much, but how did I get this condition? Please ask: Which method is better for treating balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Mostly seen in phimosis, history of unprotected sex, mild erythema of the penile foreskin and glans, white cheesy patches on the inner foreskin and coronal sulcus of the glans, and pinpoint-sized pale red papules on the glans. If it affects the external foreskin and scrotum, it may present as scaly erythema. If the navicular fossa is involved, symptoms such as frequent urination and dysuria may occur.Which hospital should I go to for treatment of balanitis? Foreskin and glans inflammation refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans. A lipoidal substance secreted normally in the foreskin cavity can accumulate as smegma in phimosis or phimosis, irritating the foreskin and glans to cause balanitis. This condition can also be caused by bacterial, fungal infections, or drug allergies.
