Patient's question:
I'm only 18 years old this year, and I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I noticed some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be like balanitis. Is it serious? Will it cause any problems? Please ask: How can the treatment for glans itching be very effective?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis can easily lead to inflammation of the prostate, testicles, epididymis, vas deferens, and other organs. If it cannot be treated promptly and effectively, it can spread and cause significant harm to perinatal health. Phimosis is also prone to causing downward infections in the urinary system, commonly seen in conditions like cystitis, nephritis, and pyelonephritis. If not properly managed during the acute phase, it can be life-threatening. Many men experience phimosis itching and worry if it's a sexually transmitted disease. In fact, phimosis itching can have many causes and is not necessarily caused by sexual contact. It may be due to poor hygiene in the private area, leading to phimosis inflammation. Therefore, it is recommended that male patients seek timely treatment from professional and regular hospitals.
