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: Can balanitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, balanitis is mostly caused by excessive foreskin or bacterial infection. This condition can be treated by rinsing with saltwater and taking a bath with potassium permanganate. However, simply rinsing with saltwater may not be sufficient to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. It is best to promptly combine this with oral antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medications, such as Amoxicillin capsules or Yankening tablets. Please pay attention to getting adequate rest and avoiding sexual activity. Thank you.The condition of balanitis tends to recur frequently, requiring long-term medication for maintenance. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital in a timely manner, and treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, proper diet and avoiding sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
