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 extremely itchy. I went to see a doctor and they said it's balanitis. Please ask: How can I relieve balanitis and feel at ease?Doctor's answer:
As you mentioned, if you currently have balanitis, the clinical diagnosis of this condition, apart from phimosis, makes it very clear. Because you have obvious phimosis, prolonged phimosis leads to poor hygiene in the area of your glans, which over time results in balanitis. You should first address the issue of phimosis. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
