Patient's question:
Lately, I've often been very grateful for a slightly itchy glans, but upon closer inspection, there's nothing growing on the glans. Is it glans inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis is generally caused by excessive foreskin where the inner lining's secretions cannot be promptly and thoroughly cleaned, allowing pathogens to grow and adapt, leading to local inflammation. Common symptoms include: redness, swelling, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a bad odor. Daily diet should be light and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Rest and avoid overexertion. Avoid using corticosteroid ointments to prevent more severe infections. Refrain from sexual intercourse and unsafe sex; maintain a clean lifestyle. If you want to learn more about these issues and practice restrained sexual activity while maintaining a positive mood, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
