Patient's question:
Male, 21 years old, has been feeling uncomfortable down there for this period, with pain and itching, and the glans seems particularly red and slightly swollen. The odor is especially unpleasant, and there are yellowish secretions on the glans. Is this balanitis? Please ask: What is the cause of the stinging sensation on the glans?Doctor's answer:
Recurring feelings of penile head pain may generally indicate a secondary inflammation response of the glans, which could be contagious. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination. The examination may require anti-inflammatory treatment.Alternatively, it could be due to excessive foreskin length. If the foreskin is too long and accompanied by inflammation, intense sexual activity may cause the foreskin to retract, leading to penile head pain. Additionally, it may be possible to have an allergy to condoms.
