Patient's question:
What is balanitis? I initially felt that the area below was particularly damp, thinking it was due to sweating. But in the middle of winter, it's extremely cold outside, making it impossible to sweat. The area still felt sticky, and that's when I realized it might be balanitis.Doctor's answer:
If it reappears, it is easy to experience pain, redness, and swelling in the scrotum, along with symptoms of excessive discharge. In this case, it is best to revisit the hospital for follow-up. If the infection is bacterial, topical anti-inflammatory medication should be applied. If it is caused by a fungal infection, topical antifungal medication should be used. It is important to maintain dryness in the area and avoid spicy or irritating foods to prevent worsening of clinical symptoms. For patients with scrotitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
