Patient's question:
My glans is a bit itchy and has some red spots, which are getting bigger. Is this glans inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Analysis: Your condition should be balanitis. The main causes of balanitis include phimosis, sexual trauma, and poor hygiene of the external genitalia. The main symptoms are red papules, small blisters on the glans, and patients often experience itching. Trichomonas can be found in the discharge. Additionally, while the causes of many cases of balanitis are unclear, phimosis and smegma are closely related to the recurrence of balanitis. Therefore, men should frequently clean between their legs and maintain local cleanliness to prevent it. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, especially local cleanliness, maintain a regular lifestyle, eat a light diet, and drink plenty of water.
