Patient's question:
Hello! I noticed patches on my glans with different colors, and there's a ring of white substance around the edge of my glans that won't come off. Is this a sign of balanitis? If it is balanitis, how should I proceed with diagnosis?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, phimosis cannot be forcibly retracted and requires circumcision for treatment. After circumcision, persistent wound care can lead to self-healing of balanitis. Balanitis is caused by phimosis. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek professional and reputable medical attention immediately. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
