Patient's question:
Test results:Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your symptoms, it appears to be acute superficial balanitis. This is generally caused by excessive foreskin, where the inner lining's secretions cannot be cleared promptly, allowing pathogens to grow and multiply, leading to local inflammation. Symptoms may include: redness, swelling, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a foul odor.The solution:
- If the condition is mild, you can regularly clean with plain water or potassium permanganate solution for treatment.
- If it is severe, seek medical examination and diagnosis before treatment.
- If it recurs frequently, it is best to undergo circumcision, which can prevent balanitis from occurring.
In daily life, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, get adequate rest, and avoid overexertion.
Avoid using corticosteroid creams to prevent more severe infections.
Abstain from masturbation and unsafe sex, and lead a clean lifestyle.
If you have trichomoniasis or candidiasis, both partners should be treated simultaneously.
