Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 18 years old this year. Recently, I noticed many small red spots appearing on my glans again. Upon careful examination, I found out it is balanitis, which is a kind of disease. Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
Carefully check for congestion and edema in the foreskin area. Squeezing the foreskin may cause purulent discharge. In severe cases, there may be skin erosion and ulcers. After healing, those with phimosis or excessive foreskin can undergo circumcision. Prevention work is needed to prevent recurrent balanitis. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow and prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication must be used according to the symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
