Patient's question:
Hello! I have found patches on my glans with different colors, and there is a ring of white substance around the edge of the glans that cannot be washed off. Is this condition caused by balanitis? If it is balanitis, please ask: How is balanitis generally treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant examinations to determine the cause of balanoposthitis, identify the type, and obtain a clear diagnosis for targeted treatment. Additionally, it is advised to enhance self-defense:1. Pay attention to local hygiene. Those with excessive foreskin should frequently clean the smegma and, if convenient, consider early circumcision.
2. Abstain from sexual activity during the illness. If the balanitis is caused by trichomoniasis, the sexual partner should also undergo thorough examination and treatment.
Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a balanced diet. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
