Patient's question:
I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I noticed some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be similar to balanitis. Is it serious? Will there be any problems? Please ask: Have I developed balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally, balanitis is primarily caused by inflammatory stimulation and bacterial infection, leading to itching and pain. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene, with a diet based on light food, avoiding spicy and fried foods to prevent irritation. Eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, and taking anti-inflammatory medication promptly, such as Amoxicillin capsules or Cephalexin capsules, can help. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
