Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with balanitis. I don't know much about this disease, so I'd like to ask for some advice. How should I treat the redness and swelling of the glans?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is mainly considered to be balanoposthitis. Balanoposthitis is a common external genital disease in men. It is divided into balanitis and posthitis. Because they often occur simultaneously, it is referred to as balanoposthitis. It can be infectious or non-infectious. Due to the inflammatory stimulation, it can also spread upwards. It is recommended that you go to a regular specialized hospital for examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment to avoid delaying the condition. Balanitis 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, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay more attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
