Patient's question:
Hello! I noticed some patches on my glans, and the colors are different. There's also 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, could you please tell me how to properly treat it?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is important to first identify whether your balanitis is caused by bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, or chlamydia, to find the root cause and treat it accordingly. Under the guidance of a doctor, take targeted medication to completely heal the balanitis. If you have phimosis, after treating the balanitis, you should undergo a circumcision to prevent the inflammation from recurring. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take timely and appropriate medication, and in daily life, avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene. I wish you a speedy recovery.
