Patient's question:
I recently got balanitis due to frequent visits to the swimming pool for ice skating, as I don't have any other infection routes. Now, I'm in great pain every day, with the affected area being itchy and painful. I can't go to work and have to study at home to resolve this issue. Hello, what is the condition of small white spots on the inside of the penis, and how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Swimming in the swimming pool and skating, I got balanitis and phimosis, which is directly related to the body's immunity and the condition of having redundant foreskin. First, you should check a blood test with C-reactive protein to confirm which pathogen is causing the infection. During the acute phase, you can use a high-manganese potassium permanganate solution at a 1:5000 ratio to soak the penis for sterilization, while also taking oral antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If not treated promptly, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication on time and maintain a regular lifestyle, avoiding prolonged sitting. I wish you a speedy recovery.
