Patient's question:
The glans has small red spots, and it hurts when touched during erection. Is it an infection? It's been like this for the past 2 years. I've been to the People's Armed Police Hospital.Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be balanitis, which refers to the inflammation of the glans mucosa. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. Balanoposthitis refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is related to damp-heat accumulation in the lower jiao and liver channel damp-heat. It can be treated with Longdan Xiegan Decoction or by washing with a decoction of Sophora flavescens. I believe most people are aware that urinary tract infections can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid consuming irritating foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
