Patient's question:
I'm only 18 years old this year, and I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I found some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be similar to balanitis. Is it serious? Will there be any problems? Please ask: What are the effective methods to treat balanitisDoctor's answer:
It is recommended to take metronidazole orally and apply fluconazole ointment externally, while simultaneously using potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is advised to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or paraphimosis, circumcision should be performed. A light diet should be maintained, and spicy and irritating foods should be avoided. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, sexual activity should be restricted, and a positive mood should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
