Patient's question:
A while ago, I used the toilet at a hotel while working. After coming home, I noticed small red spots on my glans. Besides the red blood vessels, there's no pain or itching. What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
The consideration is related to balanitis, which may be associated with a diet high in spicy, greasy, and sweet foods, infrequent bathing, or phimosis. It is recommended to apply a wet compress with compound kushen solution externally and apply curcumin cream externally as a temporary measure. In daily life, pay attention to eating more vegetables and fruits, reducing the intake of spicy and stimulating foods, and taking clean baths. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a good lifestyle and have a proper diet during the treatment period.
