Patient's question:
In the recent few months, I've been experiencing severe lower back pain, weakness in my limbs, and intense pain during urination. Several bumps have grown on my glans, which are red and accompanied by itching and pain. I've tried various methods without relief and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The diagnosis was balanitis. How much will it cost?Doctor's answer:
Inflammation of the glans mucosa is called balanitis, which can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. Balanoposthitis refers to inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans penis. A lipoidal substance secreted normally in the foreskin cavity can accumulate as smegma under conditions of phimosis or excessive foreskin, irritating the foreskin and glans penis to cause balanoposthitis. In clinical diagnosis, treatment primarily involves retracting the foreskin and maintaining dryness. If the foreskin cannot be retracted, consider incising the dorsal side of the foreskin to facilitate drainage and cleaning. Treatment costs are usually hundreds of yuan, and patients are advised to seek follow-up care at a regular hospital as soon as possible.
