Patient's question:
The other day, the front part of my glans near the urethral meatus was a bit red and uncomfortable, like it was slightly swollen. Upon closer inspection, it looked a bit like a blister. Could it be glans inflammation?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is considered that the condition may be caused by balanitis or pearl spots. It is recommended to pay attention to local hygiene, have a thorough examination in a formal urological department to confirm the diagnosis, and use anti-inflammatory solutions. It is advisable to avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain a light diet, and practice good local hygiene. A 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution can be used for cleaning. If necessary, follow-up with a urologist is recommended. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
