Patient's question:
Hello! I 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, what should I do about penile edema?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned can be treated by scrubbing with potassium permanganate solution. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear and pants frequently, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. If the recurrence is caused by phimosis, it is best to undergo circumcision, which can prevent the recurrence of balanitis. Daily diet should be light, avoid spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to rest, and avoid overexertion. Avoid sexual intercourse and unclean sexual contact, maintain a clean lifestyle, and keep the foreskin stable. However, the general treatment period is long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is recommended to develop good living habits and maintain a proper diet. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
