Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed some inflammation on the glans, and I haven't gone to the hospital for treatment yet. I haven't confirmed whether it's balanitis yet. I'd like to have a basic understanding first, and then go to the hospital for a thorough examination, which will also make it easier to communicate with the doctor.Doctor's answer:
First, it's important to determine what type of bacteria is causing the infection in your glans to decide on the appropriate medication. If it's a fungal infection, using anti-inflammatory drugs will be completely ineffective. Therefore, it's recommended that you first visit the urology department of a hospital for a re-examination before starting any treatment, as this will be more effective. You should also pay more attention to personal hygiene and clean the glans and coronal sulcus properly, as this may also increase the risk of transmission.
