Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came home at night, I noticed a red ring had formed on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. At the time, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. I would like to ask: What is a reasonable cost for treating balanitis?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of balanitis can be categorized into two types: simple or non-infectious factors: recurrent redness and swelling of the glans, along with inflammatory changes caused by physiological phimosis, excessive prepuce, stimulation from smegma after sexual maturity, or rare mechanical injuries; infectious or transmissible diseases, except those caused by non-infectious factors, all belong to this category, meaning balanitis is primarily triggered by pathogenic microorganisms, with bacterial and fungal infections being the most common. Balanitis is not an unfamiliar disease for men.
