Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and it's very red and wrinkled. Lately, when I urinate, there's always white discharge coming out, and it's itchy. I went to see a doctor and they said it's glans inflammation. Please ask: What are the specific symptoms of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Balanitis often recurs, characterized by redness, swelling, and pain in the foreskin, sometimes accompanied by numerous small red bumps on the foreskin. If you develop balanitis, you can use a very small amount of potassium permanganate dissolved in a basin of warm water to make the water slightly pink. Then immerse the entire foreskin and glans in the solution. Repeating this process many times can help alleviate the symptoms. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment usually takes a long time, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
