What are the causes of balanitis (redness and swelling of the glans)?

Patient's question:

I got a check-up last week and found balanitis, and it seems to be getting worse recently, with some bleeding and discharge, and it looks like there are also blisters. Is the condition getting serious? Please ask: What are the causes of balanitis and redness?

Doctor's answer:

1, The recurrence of red rash and blood spots in your condition should be balanitis. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a smear test to check whether it is caused by fungi or bacteria. Then, treatment can be based on different conditions. If it is fungal, it is recommended to apply topical antifungal medication such as miconazole nitrate. If it is bacterial, apply topical erythromycin ointment and take azithromycin orally for treatment. The condition of balanitis with redness and swelling is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment from professional and regular hospitals in a timely manner, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to restricting sexual activity and maintaining a good mood. Finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
