Pain in the glans after circumcision is balanitis?

Patient's question:

Before the circumcision, I didn't pay much attention. After the circumcision, when touching the glans, there was some stinging and painful sensation. At first, I thought it was because the glans had been hidden for a long time. But now it's still not better. Although it's not very sensitive, upon closer observation, I noticed small bumps on the glans. It seems that many medications should be applied!

Doctor's answer:

After circumcision, you might not have paid much attention. The previous condition was normal, and now you may notice some small granules on the glans. This is a normal situation and there is no need to worry. Under normal circumstances, the glans is a spongy tissue covered by squamous epithelium. Therefore, when the penis is flaccid, you can see some small granular structures.
For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and in daily life, avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene.
