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: What foods should be avoided when suffering from balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, it is mainly caused by balanoposthitis. You should pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene and changing your underwear frequently. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate for cleaning, apply mupirocin ointment or dermacort for treatment. You should also wear loose clothing and pay attention to cleaning before and after sexual activity to avoid the accumulation of dirt, which may lead to transmission. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid irritating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
