Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, and there was no discomfort. But recently, I noticed blisters appearing on it, of different sizes, and they are getting more and more. This doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: How is balanitis best treated?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is the cause of balanoposthitis, as phimosis leads to the inability to promptly and thoroughly clean secretions, allowing pathogens to grow and adapt in this area, resulting in local inflammation. Symptoms include: redness, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a bad odor. Solutions: If the condition is mild, it can be regularly washed with clean water; if severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention for a thorough examination and treatment; if it recurs frequently, it is best to undergo circumcision, which can prevent the recurrence of balanoposthitis. Phimosis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually lengthy, and the condition is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications must be used appropriately, and patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
