Patient's question:
I used to have balanitis, which didn't cause any discomfort, no pain or itching, and it didn't interfere with my daily life. However, I noticed more and more small white blisters appearing. Before, they were only on the coronal sulcus, but now they've also appeared on the glans. I'm a bit worried. What type of balanitis do I have, and how should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
The situation often occurs due to unclean sexual activity, which can transmit Candida, trichomoniasis, chlamydia, mycoplasma, gonococcal bacteria, or other bacteria. It is essential to maintain local cleanliness to prevent secondary infections, and it is necessary to clean the glans and foreskin daily, as well as promptly remove smegma. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment, proper medication, and the adoption of good lifestyle habits and appropriate diet during the treatment period are highly recommended.
