Patient's question:
Hello! I've noticed patches on my glans with different colors, and there's a white substance around the edge of the glans that can't be washed off. Is this condition caused by balanitis? If it is balanitis, could you please tell me how much it costs to treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis refers to the inflammation of the glans penis caused by factors such as trauma, irritation, or infection. There are many causes of balanitis. It is recommended that you identify the specific bacteria causing the inflammation for targeted treatment, as using sensitive antibiotics can be very effective. If you have phimosis, it is advised to undergo circumcision after the inflammation is fully resolved. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, for male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical treatment promptly and consider treatment based on examination results. Also, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, maintaining good personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
