Patient's question:
Hello! I noticed patches on my glans, and the colors are different. There's also a white substance around the edge of the glans, which can't be washed off. Is this condition caused by balanitis? If it is balanitis, what tests are needed?Doctor's answer:
The diagnosis of balanitis is relatively straightforward. Through a physical examination by a doctor, the presence of local inflammatory signs can confirm the diagnosis. Once confirmed, local cleaning should be performed. Potassium permanganate solution can be used for soaking treatment, and antibiotic ointment can also be applied externally. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment plan, appropriate medication, and avoiding prolonged sitting or riding are essential. Additionally, patients should pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
