Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and they are particularly red and rough. Lately, when I urinate, there is always a white discharge coming out, and it's extremely itchy. I went to see a doctor and was told 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. Due to your significant phimosis, prolonged exposure has led to poor hygiene in your glans, which over time has caused balanitis. You should first address the issue of phimosis. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
