Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that there are constantly red spots appearing on my glans. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, but later these red spots became larger and started to emit a foul odor. I'm not sure if I have genital herpes. I had one instance of having sex while drunk, but I vaguely remember using a condom. However, I don't know what illness this is now. If it's balanitis, where is the best place to treat it?Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by balanitis. It is recommended to use 3% boric acid solution 200mL or 0.1% Ringer's lactate solution to rinse the affected area twice daily, with each session lasting 20 minutes. Pay attention to local hygiene and clean the glans and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, it should be treated promptly, and circumcision may be necessary if needed. It is very important to clean the smegma regularly. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment at a professional and reputable hospital promptly. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
