Patient's question:
The glans is red and swollen, with peeling and ulcers on the surface. I don't know if it's inflammation. Could you please tell me what tests are needed for male balanitis?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the condition, it may lead to consequences such as balanoposthitis or penile cancer. It is recommended to visit the pediatric surgery department of a hospital for a follow-up examination, improve the examination of the foreskin, blood tests, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, etc., to clarify the condition. If there are no surgical contraindications, the circumcision can be performed under general anesthesia for treatment. The foreskin can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
