Patient's question:
From the end of last month, I noticed that my glans was particularly itchy. Besides some redness and swelling, there was even some discharge. At times, there were also blisters. Later, I found out that I had viral balanitis. What are the symptoms of viral balanitis?Doctor's answer:
The glans is particularly itchy, and there is also some redness and swelling at the head of the glans, even some discharge. This is a symptom of balanitis, which can be treated with povidone-iodine for sterilization. Creams and clotrimazole creams can be applied externally, and they are generally available at pharmacies. Pay attention to hygiene, clean frequently to prevent infection. If the foreskin is too long, circumcision surgery can be performed, which will be more thorough.In addition to immediate treatment, patients with balanitis also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. A positive attitude is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
