Patient's question:
My glans is a bit itchy with some red spots, and the red spots 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 and small blisters on the glans, with patients often experiencing itching. Trichomonas can be found in the discharge. Additionally, although 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.
