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? Is there anything wrong? Please ask: What should I do after the glans becomes red and swollen?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it should be the symptoms of balanitis. The basic principles of treatment are anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. Generally, it requires both internal and external treatment. For acute superficial balanitis and annular purulent balanitis, erythromycin and tetracycline are the first-line treatments. For trichomoniasis balanitis, metronidazole is the first-line treatment. For Candida balanitis, griseofulvin or itraconazole is commonly used. Balanitis with redness and swelling can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during treatment. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
