Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and it's very red and wrinkled. Lately, when I urinate, there's always white discharge coming out, and it's itchy. I went to see a doctor and they said it's balanitis. Please ask: How can I regulate the red and swollen foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Hello; According to your condition, this may be due to a local condition of phimosis, leading to local balanitis, accompanied by local skin redness, swelling, and the continuous accumulation of smegma. In daily life, avoid mental stress, get adequate rest, and maintain good hygiene in the perineal area. When discomfort occurs, provide antibiotic medication. The condition of phimosis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to limit sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
