Patient's question:
When taking a bath at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and the head of my penis seemed a bit wrinkled and red. Recently, I also found that I wasn't urinating smoothly. After checking at the hospital, they said it was balanitis. Please ask: How can I treat the redness and swelling of the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
This situation is suspected to be caused by balanitis, such as infection with Candida, E. coli, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, etc. The sensitivity to medication varies from person to person depending on the different pathogens involved, leading to significant differences in treatment and medication. Therefore, it is recommended that you visit a hospital for thorough examination to diagnose the specific pathogen and receive targeted treatment. Wishing you good health. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
