What is balanitis?

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year. Last week, it seems I had a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came home that night, I noticed a red ring had appeared on the head of my penis, and there was some bleeding. What is balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Phimosis and balanitis refer to the condition where excessive foreskin leads to the accumulation of dirt, which can cause bacterial infections and subsequent inflammation of the glans. It is recommended that you seek medical treatment from a doctor. The doctor will provide treatment based on your specific condition. In addition to treatment, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep the environment well-ventilated, eat light and soft foods, and drink plenty of warm water to enhance their physical health and prevent the occurrence of diseases.
