Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and they are particularly red and wrinkled. Lately, when I urinate, there is always a white discharge coming out, and it is itchy. I went to see a doctor and was told it's glans inflammation. Please ask: What should be paid attention to when examining the red and swollen foreskin?Doctor's answer:
What tests should be done for red and swollen foreskin? Red and swollen foreskin is one of the symptoms of balanoposthitis. It is often caused by excessive foreskin, which can lead to the accumulation of smegma. Long-term stimulation of the glans by smegma can cause inflammation. Red and swollen foreskin is a common reproductive tract infection in men. After noticing the symptoms of red and swollen foreskin, due to it being a reproductive tract disease, men often experience significant psychological pressure, delaying medical treatment and instead secretly buying medication from pharmacies. This can lead to many adverse consequences. Therefore, we need to understand the causes of red and swollen foreskin and seek medical treatment early.
