Patient's question:
Male, 39 years old, I got a physical examination last week and found balanitis. It seems to be getting worse recently, with some bleeding and discharge, and it looks like there are also blisters. Is the condition getting serious? Please ask: What is the reason for severe penile foreskin edema?Doctor's answer:
Generally, there are two situations: One is that if there is frequent sexual activity or intercourse in a short period, with strong stimulation or prolonged duration, it may lead to recurrent balanitis due to poor venous drainage. The other situation is that balanitis may occur again due to infection during sexual activity or intercourse, causing inflammation of the glans and foreskin. This can resolve on its own or be alleviated with local cold compresses.
