Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and it's very red and wrinkled. Lately, when I urinate, there's always white discharge coming out, and it's itchy. I went to see a doctor and they said it's balanitis. Please ask: What should I pay attention to before the preputial surgery?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you described above, it may be due to swelling caused by excessive friction. Topical medication can be used for treatment. It is recommended to soak and wash with a dissolved potassium permanganate solution three times a day, which may gradually reduce the swelling. Please pay attention to rest, maintain personal hygiene, avoid friction, and alleviate the swelling. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive symptomatic treatment promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
