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: How should I treat glans itching?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, your condition is likely caused by balanitis, which is often triggered by factors such as underwear friction, psychological trauma, or local irritation from soaps and cleaning agents. It manifests as swelling, redness, discharge, and erosion. Secondary infections may lead to purulent secretions, easily forming ulcers, accompanied by pain. You can use a 3% boric acid solution or a 0.05% emodin solution for wet compresses on the glans. The condition of balanitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity are important. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
