Patient's question:
The past few weeks, several small red spots have reappeared on the, how to treat recurrent balanitisDoctor's answer:
The main causes of balanitis (inflammation of the glans penis) are phimosis (tight foreskin) or excessive foreskin. Additionally, dirty sexual intercourse, drug irritation, or allergies can also lead to (septicemia). When allergic to certain medications, it may manifest as fixed edematous erythema on the glans penis or foreskin, with vesicles appearing in the center. Upon rupture, it can lead to infection. Symptoms typically occur 24-36 hours after taking the medication, improve after discontinuation, and reappear upon resumption of the medication.Treatment for acute recurrence involves retracting the foreskin or incising the dorsal side of the foreskin for drainage, along with systemic use of antibiotics. After the acute phase subsides, the patient should undergo a circumcision procedure. In addition to symptomatic treatment for balanitis, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care.
