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 to treat redness and swelling of the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Based on your condition, it is considered that you have balanitis, which is generally caused by inflammation or excessive sexual activity. Therefore, it is recommended to use cold compresses with warm water. If the condition does not stabilize for a long time, it is important to seek medical attention for a thorough examination to confirm the inflammation. Timely use of anti-inflammatory medications can help the foreskin recover, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use medication appropriately. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
