Over the past few days, after an erection, there have been a few red spots on the glans, which is indicative of balanitis. What could be the reason for this? Last night, after applying povidone-iodine and some solution, this morning after an erection, there were only a few red spots.Doctor's answer:
It could be caused by a fungal infection. You can focus on topical use of povidone-iodine for sterilization and apply bai. Pay close attention to external genital hygiene in daily life, frequently using warm water or mild salt water, and changing underwear often. Bedding and other close-to-the-skin clothing should be regularly exposed to sunlight. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
