Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came home at night, I noticed a red ring on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. At the time, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. Please ask: How should one improve when diagnosed with balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is a common clinical condition, but treatment requires a thorough examination to determine the underlying cause. Red rashes in the foreskin may be caused by phimosis leading to pearly papules or conditions like balanitis. Similar symptoms may also occur. Unprotected sexual intercourse is not ruled out as a cause of sexually transmitted diseases. However, if such a condition is suspected, a thorough examination is necessary. If left untreated, the inflammation may spread upwards, leading to urethritis or prostatitis.

Our hospital employs a gene chip-based viral and bacterial localization system that can help you identify the issue clearly.
