Patient's question:
Today, I noticed some discharge, not sure if it's blood or water! It's a bit painful, itchy during the day, and the red blister is growing between the foreskin and the glans! I haven't had any sexual activity recently, just occasional intercourse. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
This is a case of balanitis caused by poor sexual hygiene. It is recommended to pay attention to hygiene and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Consider maintaining good hygiene, changing underwear and pants frequently, avoiding sexual activity, and visiting a hospital for examination. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can use potassium permanganate solution to clean the genital area and take metronidazole orally for anti-inflammatory treatment. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting.
