Doctor's answer:

Consider infections such as balanitis. The common causes of balanitis include transmission through unclean sexual activity, excessive foreskin, penetration of pathogenic microorganisms, and poor local hygiene. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, especially local cleanliness, maintain a regular lifestyle, eat a light diet, and drink plenty of water. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Seek timely medical examination at a formal hospital for tests such as external genital discharge and bacterial culture to identify the cause. Follow the doctor's advice and cooperate with treatment based on the examination results. Additionally, during the treatment of balanitis and redness, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry.
