Patient's question:
I had prostatitis and balanitis two years ago, and it took a year to heal. But now I've gotten it again. The head of my penis is always red, and it's been like this for a long time, maybe a few months. There are small bumps on it, and I don't know what medicine to take. How can this condition be cured?Doctor's answer:
The glans has redness with a layer of bumps, which is likely a recurrence of balanitis. Balanitis is related to poor hygiene of the external genitalia, weakened immunity, sexual activity, and friction from underwear. It is recommended not to blindly take medication and seek medical attention promptly for a thorough examination. Recheck for any issues with the prostate based on the examination results and receive timely symptomatic treatment. Maintain good local hygiene and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
