Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that there are red spots appearing on my glans again. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, but later these red spots became larger and had a foul odor. I don't know if it's genital herpes. I had one instance of indiscriminate sex while drunk, but I'm not entirely sure if I was wearing a condom at the time. However, I don't know what illness this is now. If it's balanitis, what are the best treatments for it? I hope experts can help me find the answer. Thank you!What kind of assistance I need: The best assistance, to find a good hospital or a targeted therapy!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it may be caused by balanitis. It is recommended to use 3% boric acid solution 200mL or 0.1% Ringer's solution to rinse the affected area twice daily, with each session lasting 20 minutes. Pay attention to local hygiene, clean the glans and foreskin daily, and seek treatment promptly if the foreskin is too long. Circumcision may be necessary if needed. It is very important to clean the foreskin regularly. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely and appropriate treatment, maintain a regular lifestyle, and avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
