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 is the cost of treating foreskin edema approximately?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Balanitis (penile swelling) is generally caused by mechanical irritation and friction. The treatment cost is not high. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate solution for daily cleaning to prevent irritation. When lying down, elevate the penis and support it with a pillow. Pay attention to hygiene in the perineal area, and it will gradually improve. The condition of the foreskin is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical treatment promptly. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Also, maintain a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
