Patient's question:
When it recurs, the glans is red with red rashes without blisters and no itching. The doctor recommended using a cream, but it cannot beed. After a month, it has started to recur again, but the cream works well the second day. What should I do:Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it seems you have balanitis (inflammation of the glans penis). If you have phimosis (reduced foreskin retraction) or paraphimosis (inability to retract the foreskin), it can easily lead to recurrent episodes of this condition. You will need topical antiseptic treatment, and topical ointments should also be applied for healing. In terms of diet, it's important to maintain a light and balanced diet.It is recommended that you follow up with your urologist at the hospital. For phimosis, surgical treatment is often advised. Balanitis tends to be prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it's crucial to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, it's important to quit smoking and drinking, and maintain good personal hygiene.
