Patient's question:
I noticed that my glans seems to have some blisters, red and swollen. The hospital examination said it's balanitis. I haven't done much, but how did I get this condition? Please ask: How to treat the initial stage of balanitis in a relatively safe way?Doctor's answer:
Gonococcal urethritis is divided into bacterial, viral, and allergic types. Based on your description, it is suspected to be allergic balanitis, or it could be related to not cleaning promptly after stopping medication. Since face-to-face consultation is not possible, a comprehensive understanding of the condition cannot be achieved. If it is allergic, you can try using potassium permanganate solution at a 1:5000 concentration for cleaning, applying hydrocortisone ointment externally, and taking oral antihistamines. However, this should be done under the guidance of a local doctor. Alternatively, you can go to a public hospital for a thorough examination, diagnosis, and treatment. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use medications appropriately!
