Patient's question:
I noticed that my glans seems to have some blisters, red and swollen. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's balanitis. I haven't really done anything, so how did I get this condition? Please ask: How should one treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Many men suffer from balanitis, and due to the inability to achieve effective self-healing over a long period, various symptoms and discomforts are relieved after sexual intercourse, or they directly interfere with the sensitivity and quality of sexual life, triggering a negative stimulus in patients. Gradually, an aversion reappears, leading to issues like premature ejaculation and loss of libido. Balanitis is a common reproductive infection disease in men, typically occurring in the genital area of males. However, many men often resort to self-medication or blindly follow folk remedies without understanding the condition. This behavior is highly unscientific, not only delaying the treatment but also leaving greater health risks for themselves. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect overall health conditions.
