Patient's question:
I feel very uncomfortable in my private area. That feeling is indescribable, and it's affecting my work and life. It's very frustrating. What should I do if I have balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is a common clinical condition, but treatment requires a thorough examination to determine the underlying cause. Red rashes in the foreskin may be due to phimosis-induced pearly papules or balanitis, among other possibilities. Similar symptoms may also occur. Unprotected sexual intercourse cannot be ruled out as a cause of sexually transmitted diseases. However, if such a condition is suspected, a thorough examination is necessary. If left untreated, the inflammation may spread upward, leading to urethritis or prostatitis. For your health, we recommend visiting our reproductive infection specialty department for a detailed examination. Our hospital employs a gene chip-based viral and bacterial localization system that can help you clearly identify the cause.
