Patient's question:
Hello! I have found patches on my glans, and the colors are different. There is also a ring of white substance around the edge of the glans, which cannot be washed off. Is this condition caused by balanitis? If it is balanitis, how should I treat it when I have phimosis?Doctor's answer:
Considering this is balanoposthitis, its symptoms primarily manifest as redness and swelling of the foreskin, burning pain, relief during urination, and possible purulent discharge from the foreskin opening. Local oral tetracycline treatment can be administered, while also paying attention to local hygiene, washing the glans and foreskin daily. The condition of the foreskin tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, for male patients, it is important to seek professional and reputable medical treatment promptly, with treatment decisions based on thorough examination results. Proper diet should be maintained, and sexual activity should be avoided. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
