Patient's question:
I noticed that my glans seems to have some blisters, red and swollen. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was balanitis. I didn't do much, yet how did I get this condition? Please ask: How can balanitis be treated for better effects?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis, please go to the urology department for diagnosis. Specific treatment should be implemented under the guidance of local doctors. Always maintain local cleanliness to prevent secondary infection; clean the glans and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, it should be treated in time, and circumcision may be necessary if necessary. It is very important to clean the smegma of the foreskin in a timely manner. Dry and scaly conditions can be treated with tetracycline and hydrocortisone ointment. Additionally, oral antibiotics such as amoxicillin or ciprofloxacin can be taken. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If it is not treated in time, it may affect the overall health condition. Therefore, patients should receive timely symptomatic treatment and pay attention to avoiding overwork and maintaining good personal hygiene in daily life. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
