Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that blisters of varying sizes have also appeared, and they are getting more and more. This doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: Can balanitis be treated well?Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms should be the symptoms of balanitis. The basic principle of treatment is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. Generally, it involves both internal and external treatment. It is recommended to use medication, povidone-iodine. First, dissolve it in warm water and then rinse the affected area. Then, use gauze or cotton balls to wipe the area. Do this once a day. Generally, it heals on its own within a week, which is both time-saving and simple. For external use, apply clotrimazole ointment. That should be sufficient. Pay attention to wearing boiled water-washed underwear and keep the area dry at all times. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If it is not treated promptly, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
