Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and it's particularly red and rough. 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 factors can cause balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello! There are many red and swollen substances on the foreskin, which are mostly related to poor hygiene habits and bacterial infections. It is recommended to go to the urology department as soon as possible for an examination to check for balanoposthitis. If there is inflammation, it needs to be treated in a timely manner. The condition of balanitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment at professional and regular hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
