Patient's question:
I noticed that my glans seems to have some blisters, red and swollen. The hospital examination said it was balanitis. I didn't do much, but how did I get this disease? Please ask: Is balanitis a serious disease?Doctor's answer:
Thank you for your consultation. Based on your description, this condition is likely caused by balanitis, which is generally due to local poor hygiene and infection. It is recommended to take fluconazole capsules and apply topical antifungal creams such as clotrimazole. Clean the glans and foreskin with physiological saline or 0.1% rivanol solution to thoroughly remove dirt. Long-term medication intake is necessary. Additionally, for male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital as soon as possible. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
