Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I got home at night, I noticed a red ring on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. At the time, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. Please ask: How can balanitis be prevented?Doctor's answer:
Based on your condition, balanitis generally can recur with redness, swelling, and pain in the glans and urethral meatus, along with an increasing amount of discharge. This is more common in patients with phimosis. If you have phimosis and frequently experience balanitis, surgery may be necessary. Currently, during inflammation, oral antibiotics can be taken. Wishing you a speedy recovery.Balanitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication for management. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals promptly. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity are recommended. Finally, wishing all patients a speedy recovery.
