Patient's question:
These days, several red spots have appeared on my glans penis again, and it's a bit itchy. After looking it up, it might be balanitis. I don't have excessive foreskin, and I haven't had any unsafe sex—how could I get balanitis? What should I do now? What medicine 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 mental trauma, friction, contraceptive devices, detergents, urine, etc.), various infections (bacteria, fungi, amoebas, trichomonads, etc.), and drug allergies. It is recommended to visit a formal hospital for thorough examination to avoid interfering with treatment effectiveness. After treatment, pay close attention to rest and maintain good hygiene for the genital area. Avoid smoking and drinking beer.
