Problem description: I recently felt very uncomfortable on the glans. The monthly check-up was caused by balanitis. Is it also a urinary tract infection?

Banitis is not a urinary tract infection.
The urinary tract mainly refers to the renal pelvis, ureter, bladder, and urethra. If infection occurs in these areas, it is called urinary tract infection. Balanitis refers to infections in the skin of the male glans, which is not a urinary tract infection in a strict sense. But if a man has balanitis, if it is not treated properly, bacteria may enter the urethra and cause urinary tract infection. Therefore, the treatment plan for these two diseases is basically the same, that is, the application of antibiotics for anti-infective treatment, but the sensitive antibiotics should be used.
Pay attention to the cleaning of the glans during the treatment. You can wash it with water. The other is to drink a proper amount of water to urinate, which will help flush the urethra and prevent the possibility of urinary tract infection.
