Patient's question:
The left edge of the glans is slightly swollen, and it's a bit painful when erect. Could you please tell me what this could be?Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by masturbation-induced balanitis. Prolonged friction can easily lead to balanitis edema, which can be relieved by rest and has little impact on the penis. Excessive foreskin is also prone to cause balanitis.It is recommended to stop masturbation, undergo a circumcision surgery, use povidone-iodine to disinfect the glans, and pay attention to cleaning the glans and foreskin to prevent inflammation. I believe everyone knows that impotence causes significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. Pay attention to dietary issues in daily life, avoid stimulating foods, and maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits can be scheduled when necessary.
