Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that blisters have also appeared on it, varying in size and increasing in number. This situation doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: How should I treat balanitis itching?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis balanitis can easily lead to inflammation of the prostate, testicles, epididymis, vas deferens, and other organs. If it cannot be treated promptly and effectively, it can spread and cause significant harm to perinatal health. Balanitis is also prone to cause downward infections in the urinary system, commonly seen in conditions like cystitis, nephritis, and pyelonephritis. If not properly managed during the acute phase, it can be life-threatening. During the inflammatory phase of balanitis, the sexual sensory nerves in the glans are damaged by inflammation, making it easier for men to experience premature ejaculation during sexual activity, which can further lead to recurrent premature ejaculation. Balanitis itching can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible.
