Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable down there for a while, it's both painful and itchy, and my glans seems 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 if I have balanitis?Doctor's answer:
The subcutaneous connective tissue of the skin on the foreskin and scrotum is relatively loose. Under conditions such as being struck, inflammatory stimulation, surgery, or various wounds, the foreskin may become swollen. This condition requires targeted treatment based on the cause. If it is infectious, timely antibiotic treatment and appropriate topical disinfectants should be used to sterilize. The foreskin swelling can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment, proper medication, and maintaining good lifestyle habits and dietary choices during the treatment period are essential. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
