Patient's question:
I currently have many small, dense red bumps on my glans, and it hurts. In the morning, there is some white substance around the glans. I want to ask the doctor about the causes of balanitis. My partner and I are quite particular about sexual hygiene.Doctor's answer:
The causes of balanitis are relatively numerous, such as neglect during sexual activity or the condition of an overly long foreskin. It is recommended that you promptly visit a formal urological department for a comprehensive examination of your genitalia. Based on the examination results, some antiseptic and anti-inflammatory ointments can be applied, while also taking antiviral medications for treatment. Wash with warm water daily, and avoid sexual activity during this period to prevent cross-infection. Balanitis tends to recur easily, requiring long-term medication treatment. Additionally, male patients should actively seek treatment at professional and formal hospitals, and consider treatment based on examination results.
