Patient's question:
In 2012, the condition manifested one year ago. The glans became red during erection, and the glans edge turned purple. Due to excessive prepuce, sexual intercourse has been occurring for one year. What medicine can be used to treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
The causes of sexual dysfunction can be divided into functional and organic factors. Functional sexual dysfunction accounts for the majority, characterized by disturbances in cerebral cortex function, usually caused by abnormal sexual habits (e.g., sexual intercourse, excessive sexual activity) and abnormal mental states (e.g., fear, tension, fatigue). Organic sexual dysfunction is less common, often resulting from spinal cord injuries leading to dysfunction in the erectile and ejaculation centers, or chronic inflammation such as urethritis, prostatitis, epididymitis, etc., as well as neuroendocrine diseases, or self-inflammation of the penis. It is recommended to revisit the hospital for follow-up. After specialized and professional examinations confirm the diagnosis, symptomatic treatment should be administered! In addition to immediate medical treatment, patients with balanitis should also pay attention to maintaining a positive mood in daily life, as a good mood is very important for the complete recovery of the disease.
