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: What are the symptoms of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis manifests as redness and swelling of the foreskin, burning pain, relief during urination, and may have purulent discharge from the meatus. If the foreskin is moved, it can be seen that the inner foreskin and glans are congested, swollen, and in severe cases, there may be shallow small ulcers or erosion, showing purulent discharge. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, during treatment, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet, hoping that male patients can recover quickly!
