Patient's question:
A month ago, I noticed small red spots on the glans, but there were no other discomforts, and I had no unsafe sex. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms, it appears to be a case of balanitis, likely caused by a bacterial infection. This can lead to recurrent local redness, swelling, pain, the presence of bumps, and itching. It is recommended to pay attention to hygiene, change underwear frequently to prevent cross-infection, and take metronidazole tablets and azithromycin tablets as prescribed under the guidance of a doctor. Clean the affected area with warm water, apply erythromycin ointment locally, and use it as directed. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication.
