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 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. Could you please ask: How can balanitis be treated properly?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Balanoposthitis refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans penis. A lipoidal substance normally secreted in the foreskin cavity can accumulate as smegma under conditions of phimosis or excessive foreskin, irritating the foreskin and glans to cause balanoposthitis. Drug allergy-induced balanitis is a delayed-type allergic reaction and is quite common in clinical diagnosis. However, the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
