Patient's question:
Treatment situation:1. Visited hospitals for diagnosis several times, including municipal, provincial people's hospitals, affiliated hospitals of medical universities, and other regular hospitals (all Grade III-A hospitals). Never visited small hospitals or pediatric hospitals for follow-up.
2. Test results: Fungal microscopy (no hidden fungi observed), smegma bacterial and fungal culture (no pathogenic bacteria or fungal growth).
3. Diagnosis: Some doctors said it was candidiasis, others said it was mixed bacteria, and some said it was difficult to determine the type of balanitis. The diagnosis varied, and no definitive treatment was prescribed, which made me feel helpless. How can the specific type of balanitis be confirmed?
Doctor's answer:
The inflammation of the glans is usually caused by a bacterial infection. You should get a urine test done to find out what kind of bacteria is present. Pay attention to proper care, maintain a balanced diet, and get adequate rest. Adopting a healthy and civilized lifestyle and maintaining a positive mindset are important for individuals with glans inflammation. Timely treatment can help reduce the frequency of outbreaks. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and maintain a regular sexual life while avoiding prolonged sitting.
