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, along with redness, swelling, and itching on my glans. If I develop balanitis, how should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
Penile redness and swelling, itching are considered to be possible causes such as balanoposthitis, local allergies, certain skin diseases, urethritis, genital herpes, etc. Regarding which specific condition you have, without a thorough examination, it is not possible to provide a definitive diagnosis for you. It is recommended to closely monitor the situation and, if necessary, seek follow-up at the urology department of a hospital to confirm the diagnosis and then receive targeted treatment. The foreskin can recover, but the treatment process is usually lengthy, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
