Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and it's very red and wrinkled. Lately, when I urinate, there's always white discharge coming out, and it's itchy. I went to see a doctor and they said it's balanitis. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis, often characterized by redness, swelling, itching, pain, and sometimes even rupture, is commonly associated with poor hygiene habits and bacterial infections. It is recommended to visit a urology department promptly to check for phimosis. If inflammation is present, timely treatment is necessary. I hope my explanation is helpful to you. Phimosis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, it is important to limit sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
