Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that blisters have also appeared on it, varying in size and increasing in number. This situation doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: How should balanitis be treated to ensure a proper recovery?Doctor's answer:
Consider it to be balanitis. Balanitis includes local physical trauma, friction, contraceptives, swelling, discharge, and self-reported pain and itching. Irritation from soaps and detergents can cause local manifestations such as edema, discharge, and even peeling. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it can lead to inflammation and the formation of ulcers, causing significant pain and difficulty in movement. It is recommended that you visit a formal urology hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis before starting treatment. It could also be another condition, so it is important not to treat blindly. I hope my explanation helps you, and wish you good health! Balanitis tends to recur easily, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek treatment at a professional and formal hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on examination results.
