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, of varying sizes, and they are getting more and more. This situation doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: What methods can treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to the hospital to collect secretions from the glans for examination to determine if it is bacterial or fungal in nature, and then select an appropriate medication plan. If it is bacterial balanitis, options such as erythromycin ointment can be chosen. If it is fungal balanitis, options like miconazole nitrate can be used. During treatment, it is strictly prohibited to consume spicy or irritating foods, and sexual activity must be avoided. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should adhere to medication promptly and maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent overexertion. Pay attention to personal hygiene, and wish you a speedy recovery.
