Patient's question:
My foreskin is a bit long, and I've never had surgery for it. Recently, I've been experiencing severe odor in my lower body, and my glans is red, swollen, and itchy. Could you please tell me what symptoms are associated with balanitis in men?Doctor's answer:
There is redness and peeling. Based on your description and symptoms, it is considered to be balanitis, related to sexual intercourse or excessive foreskin, and potential transmission. You can use some traditional Chinese medicine preparations for washing, such as Shen Bai Wash or Chushi Xiaozhong Zhi Tong Wash. It is best to provide clear symptoms so I can help you with a specific clinical diagnosis. The redness and swelling of the glans can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
