Patient's question:
I noticed that my glans seems to have some blisters, red and swollen. The hospital examination said it's balanitis. I haven't done much, but how did I get this condition? Please ask: How to treat glans itching and how can it heal safely?Doctor's answer:
Itchy with discharge: Patients should promptly get a discharge culture to determine the cause of the discharge. Common causes are primarily balanitis (inflammation of the glans penis), and severe cases may involve genital herpes. This condition should be taken seriously, as untreated genital herpes can lead to more severe inflammatory diseases. For itchy patients, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek appropriate treatment promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while maintaining good personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
