Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that blisters have also appeared on it, varying in size and increasing in number. This situation doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: How to self-treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
This condition is often seen in balanitis caused by excessive foreskin, inflammation of the foreskin. Those with excessive foreskin cannot completely remove metabolic substances inside the foreskin, leading to local inflammatory changes. It is recommended to clean the inner foreskin and glans once a day. Wearing breathable underwear and avoiding frequent local irritation are also important. For individuals with foreskin issues, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain a regular sex life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
