Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable down there for a while, it's both painful and itchy, and it seems like my glans is particularly red and a bit swollen. The odor is especially unpleasant, and there are yellowish secretions on my glans. Is this likely glans inflammation? Please ask: What should I do after developing balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin completely covers the glans penis in a natural state, and it cannot be retracted to reveal the glans during erection. The difference between phimosis and paraphimosis is that paraphimosis can be manually retracted to reveal the glans. Excessive foreskin length is a risk factor for many diseases, such as balanoposthitis. It is recommended that you revisit the hospital for further examination, combined with relevant urological tests, to confirm the diagnosis. If necessary, circumcision can be performed as soon as possible. The foreskin can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow and prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is advisable to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a balanced diet. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
