Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and they are particularly red and rough. Recently, when I urinate, there is always a white discharge coming out, and it is itchy. I went to see a doctor and was told it is glans inflammation. Please ask: What can be done to prevent it from happening again?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to local hygiene. Clean the glans and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, seek timely treatment, and consider circumcision if necessary. It is very important to clean the smegma promptly. If ulcers or erosion occur, change the medication in time, twice a day, to prevent discomforting irritation. For acute balanoposthitis, avoid using corticosteroid creams to prevent more severe infections. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, medication must be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
