Patient's question:
These days, several red spots have repeatedly appeared on my glans, and it's a bit itchy. After doing some research, it might be balanitis. I don't have excessive foreskin, and I haven't had any unprotected sex—how could I get balanitis? What should I do now? What medication should I use?Doctor's answer:
There are multiple causes that can lead to balanitis, such as mucosal inflammation caused by factors like trauma, irritation, or infections. It can be triggered by various factors, including local physical stimuli (such as psychological trauma, friction, contraceptive devices, detergents, urine, etc.), various infections (bacteria, fungi, amoebas, trichomoniasis, etc.), and drug allergies. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital for thorough examination to avoid interfering with treatment effectiveness. After treatment, it is important to rest more and pay attention to hygiene cleaning of the genital area. Avoid smoking and drinking beer.
