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? Will it cause any problems? Please ask: How should I treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally, balanitis is primarily caused by inflammatory stimulation and bacterial infection, leading to itching and pain. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene, with a diet based on light food, avoiding spicy and fried foods that may cause irritation. Eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, and taking anti-inflammatory medication promptly, such as Amoxicillin capsules or Cephalexin capsules, can help. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and avoid overexertion in daily life while maintaining good hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
