Patient's question:
The genital area has been emitting a persistent odor recently, even after washing. Additionally, the glans has become somewhat red, resembling the onset of ulceration. What are the potential harms of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
There needs to be a possibility of phimosis or recurrent balanitis and urethritis. If phimosis is present, it affects normal sexual life, or if it leads to recurrent balanitis and urethritis, it can be treated surgically. Phimosis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
