Patient's question:
Hello! I noticed patches on my glans with different colors, and there's a white substance around the edge of the glans that won't come off. Is this a sign of balanitis? If it is balanitis, how can I treat the redness and swelling of the glans to make it better?Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by balanitis. It is recommended to use 3% boric acid solution 200mL or 0.1% Ringer's solution to rinse the affected area twice daily, with each session lasting 20 minutes. Rest well, drink plenty of hot water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy, irritating, greasy, and fried foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery! The condition of redness and swelling of the glans is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, refrain from sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, wishing all patients a speedy recovery.
