Patient's question:
A 30-year-old man discovered a white ring around the edge of his glans while taking a bath at night. It seemed a bit wrinkled and red. Recently, he also noticed that he wasn't urinating smoothly. After checking at the hospital, he was diagnosed with balanitis. Please ask: What are the specific characteristics of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis is a common disease in men, primarily characterized by symptoms such as itching, red rashes, and pus formation. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination as soon as possible to confirm the cause and receive targeted treatment. Balanoposthitis can be treated with medication. Additionally, it is important to note that it may also be caused by excessive foreskin, in which case a circumcision procedure may be necessary to achieve relief.
