Patient's question:
My foreskin has always been a bit adhered, but because it's a sensitive area, I'm a bit hesitant to go to the hospital, and I also feel a bit embarrassed. But recently, I feel like my private area can never be cleaned properly, and I'm very afraid of getting sick, so I want to get treated. Please ask: What are the common manifestations of foreskin adhesion?Doctor's answer:
This should be a symptom caused by inflammation of the glans spreading, with severe cases possibly developing shallow small ulcers or erosion, showing purulent discharge. This condition primarily requires anti-inflammatory treatment, with erythromycin and gentamicin being the drugs of choice. For trichomoniasis-induced balanoposthitis, metronidazole is the drug of choice. For Candida-induced balanoposthitis, itraconazole or griseofulvin is commonly used for treatment. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
