Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling some discomfort in my penis and have been very worried that it might affect future fertility. So, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was balanitis. No wonder there were signs of pus on the glans. I'm really worried that the situation might get worse. What is balanitis? Is it very serious?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to frequently clean the foreskin and glans penis. Always maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. Pay attention to good hygiene habits. This has a very effective preventive effect against balanoposthitis. If the condition is detected, gently move the foreskin over the affected area or soak and clean it with potassium permanganate solution. If necessary, appropriate use of antibiotics can be considered. If the inflammation does not subside and worsens, but the treatment process is generally slow and prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
