What are the symptoms of balanitis?

Patient's question:

Due to my lack of attention to daily hygiene in my daily life and not interfering with sexual life, I haven't developed good habits. Over time, the glans head developed inflammation again, and I didn't notice it in time or go to the hospital for treatment in time, which led to my current sexual difficulties. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Mainly, balanitis is characterized by redness, swelling, pain, and discharge of the glans. It is recommended to maintain good hygiene habits. Local povidone-iodine sterilization can be applied, and mupirocin ointment can be used for treatment. Pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical treatment promptly. Treatment should be considered based on detailed examination results. Additionally, sexual activity should be restricted, and a positive mood should be maintained.
