Patient's question:
I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I noticed some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be similar to balanitis. Is it serious? Is there anything wrong? Please ask: Where is it better to treat glans itching?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be balanoposthitis, which can be caused by sexual activity and excessive foreskin. It can be transmitted by Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria. Alternatively, due to excessive foreskin and insufficient hygiene, dirt between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, may accumulate, stimulating the local foreskin and mucosa to cause inflammation again. If the problem is severe, please seek medical attention promptly at a regular hospital for a follow-up examination. After identifying the cause, targeted treatment should be administered to avoid delaying the condition. The treatment should be determined, and during the treatment period, local hygiene should be paid attention to. Those with excessive foreskin should clean it frequently.
