What are the symptoms of balanitis?

Patient's question:

I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I noticed some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be similar to balanitis. Is it serious? Will it cause any problems? Please ask: What are the symptoms of balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Balanitis often recurs, characterized by redness, swelling, and pain in the foreskin, sometimes accompanied by numerous small red bumps on the foreskin. If you develop balanitis, you can use a very small amount of potassium permanganate dissolved in a basin of warm water to make the water slightly red. Then, immerse the entire foreskin and glans in the solution. Repeating this process multiple times can help alleviate the symptoms. The foreskin can be stabilized, but the treatment usually takes a long time, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and adopt a healthy lifestyle and diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
