Patient's question:
In recent days, I've developed several small red spots on my lower abdomen, along with a lot of white discharge, which has made me very nervous. Later, I consulted a doctor who said it was balanitis. What should I do about balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Men with balanitis have to pay attention to nursing care. They should clean the area regularly and change their underwear daily. The condition may be caused by irritation from smegma, leading to redness and swelling. If itching and urinary urgency or frequency recur, anti-inflammatory medication may be necessary. If the condition does not recur frequently, it is recommended to use anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatments. However, since different causes require different treatments, it is advisable to visit a regular hospital to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment. Early detection and early treatment are key.
