Patient's question:
Erythema of glansHello, I don't know how I got glans inflammation. The hospital just prescribed some washing medicine, but it doesn't seem to be working. I see online that glans inflammation comes in many types.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it is likely balanitis. There are many causes of balanitis, including: excessive foreskin (accumulation of smegma leading to inflammatory reactions), poor irritation (friction, condoms, soap, detergents, synthetic underwear, etc.), and unprotected sex. I believe everyone knows how harmful balanitis is to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues—maintain a light diet and avoid foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary if needed.
