Patient's question:
Itching of the glans, dysuria, went for a check-up and was told it was balanitis. How should the treatment be effective for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are red rashes on the glans. Generally, it could be eczema, papules, balanitis, or genital warts. Among these, inflammation caused by excessive foreskin or poor hygiene is relatively common. If you have a history of unsafe sex, you should consider genital warts. Additionally, if it is balanitis, it is important to identify the specific pathogen causing the inflammation to treat it accordingly. For example, if it is a yeast infection, it cannot be treated simply with conventional anti-inflammatory drugs.It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for standardized and thorough examination to determine the specific condition. Then, you can decide on the appropriate treatment method based on the diagnosis.
