Patient's question:
Hello! I noticed some patches on my glans with different colors, and there's a ring of white substance around the edge of the glans that can't be washed off. Is this condition caused by balanitis? If it is balanitis, could you please tell me: What are the symptoms and manifestations of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis balanitis manifests as redness and swelling of the foreskin, a burning sensation, relief during urination, and may have purulent secretions flowing from the meatus. If the foreskin is moved, it can be seen that the inner foreskin and glans are congested, swollen, and in severe cases, may have shallow small ulcers or erosion, showing purulent discharge. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated in a timely manner, it will affect health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life, pay attention to personal hygiene, and wish you a speedy recovery.
