Patient's question:
Hello! I noticed patches on my glans with different colors, and there's a white substance around the edge of the glans that won't come off even after washing. Is this a sign of balanitis? If it is balanitis, how should I treat phimosis (penile swelling)?Doctor's answer:
Excessive sexual activity can not only interfere with the normal growth and development of the penis and scrotum, leading to conditions such as a small penis, kidney deficiency, impotence, premature ejaculation, and acne, but it can also easily cause various urinary system diseases, such as urethritis and prostatitis. It may even result in a lack of sperm, making future conception difficult. It is recommended that you first undergo a check-up to identify any urinary system diseases. At the same time, you must completely abstain from sexual activity. Abstinence can help stabilize the symptoms mentioned above. In your daily life, you can engage in more activities, such as playing sports or reading books that you find uninteresting to help focus your attention. I hope my explanation is helpful to you. The foreskin can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor during the treatment.
