Patient's question:
I got tested for my health last week and found balanitis. It seems to be getting worse recently, with some bleeding and discharge, and it looks like there are also blisters. Is the condition getting serious? Please ask: Where is it effective to treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and the glans penis, which is usually caused by inflammation due to smegma. However, it can also be brought on by bacterial, fungal infections, or drug allergies. It is recommended that you identify the cause and treat accordingly. If the inflammation is caused by smegma, it is still advisable to prioritize anti-inflammatory treatment, but after the inflammation subsides, circumcision should be considered to prevent recurrence. For individuals with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and in daily life, they should avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
