Patient's question:
Male, 27 years old, discovered a white ring around the head of his penis while taking a bath at night, and the head of his penis seemed a bit wrinkled and red. Recently, he found that urination was not very smooth. After checking at the hospital, he was diagnosed with balanitis. Please ask: How to treat the pain in the head of the penis when it is touched?Doctor's answer:
Pain in the glans upon contact may be due to excessive foreskin, as the glans is long-term tightly enclosed, leading to bacterial growth in the foreskin that spreads to the glans, causing inflammatory reactions. It is recommended to pay attention to cleaning the foreskin and glans regularly. After the pain temporarily subsides, consider undergoing circumcision treatment. In daily diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from alcohol consumption. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
