Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with balanitis. I don't know much about this disease and would like to consult about it. What are the causes of preputial adhesion?Doctor's answer:
It may be balanitis. It is caused by poor local hygiene, excessive sexual activity, phimosis, or other factors. The recurring white discharge is called smegma, which is secreted by the sebaceous glands of the foreskin. You can use Fuyinjie to clean it. Pay attention to local hygiene, thoroughly remove smegma, and avoid sexual activity. If there is phimosis or paraphimosis, surgical treatment should be considered as soon as possible. The condition of balanitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
