Patient's question:
Doctor: Hello! You have given me a reply, thank you very much, but I still don't know what "infection" means because it's my first time getting this illness. Does "infection" mean it was transmitted to me by a woman, or is there another meaning? Please tell me what it means, doctor.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the occurrence of balanitis is often due to factors such as unclean sexual contact and cross-infection, poor personal hygiene, which lead to viruses or bacteria invading the soft tissues of the penis glans, causing congestion, edema, and inflammation of the tissues, thereby triggering itching and the appearance of vesicles. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, bathe frequently to maintain cleanliness, consume foods rich in collagen in your diet, and reduce the intake of cold and raw foods. Additionally, clean and disinfect the penis glans, apply povidone-iodine, and externally apply clotrimazole ointment. Oral medications such as azithromycin and nystatin tablets should also be taken for treatment.
