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: How should balanitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Consider infections such as balanitis. The common causes of balanitis include transmission through unclean sexual activity, excessive foreskin, penetration of pathogenic microorganisms, and poor local hygiene. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, especially local cleanliness, maintain a regular lifestyle, eat a light diet, and drink plenty of water. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Timely medical examination of external genital secretions, bacterial culture, and related tests is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Based on the examination results, follow the doctor's advice and cooperate with treatment. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
