Patient's question:
Doctor, my glans has been itchy recently, sometimes it's also red and swollen. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with balanitis. How is balanitis caused?Doctor's answer:
It should be caused by a bacterial infection. If you experience burning or itching on the glans, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination by a doctor. Blood and urine tests should be conducted, followed by smear diagnosis. Based on the condition, medication should be administered to treat balanitis. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
