Patient's question:
Last year, I got circumcised. He said I have balanitis. It's just a little spot behind the head of the penis. Do I have balanitis? Can it be treated on my own?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is the main cause of recurrent inflammation in the glans penis, primarily due to excessive foreskin. If small spots appear on the coronal sulcus of the glans, it is likely pearly papules. If it is pearly papules, there is no need for special treatment. Pearly papules will never interfere with human health and will never cause any infections. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
