Patient's question:
What type of balanitis is characterized by many small red spots on the glans, and how should it be treated? What medication should be used?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the causes of balanoposthitis are mainly divided into two aspects: infectious and non-infectious factors. Infectious factors are often caused by infections such as Candida albicans, mycoplasma, chlamydia, and trichomonas. Non-infectious factors are due to excessive prepuce, incomplete cleaning for a long time leading to the accumulation of smegma, which stimulates the mucosa and causes inflammation. This is also one of the main causes of balanoposthitis. Do you have excessive prepuce? It is recommended that you visit a hospital for diagnosis, symptomatic treatment, and to alleviate the pain and inconvenience caused by the disease. If you have excessive prepuce, it is advisable to undergo a circumcision to remove the triggering factors of the disease and improve your quality of life.
