Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable down there for a while, it's both painful and itchy, and my glans seems particularly red and a bit swollen. The smell is especially unpleasant, and there are yellowish secretions on my glans. Is this likely glans inflammation? I'd like to know: How is the best way to treat glans inflammation?Doctor's answer:
The treatment methods for balanoposthitis include medication, biophysical therapy, etc. Patients with balanoposthitis caused by factors such as rough sexual intercourse and pathogenic bacterial transmission should seek timely medical attention at formal hospitals to understand standardized treatment. These patients need to completely eliminate the inflammation of balanitis and its complications to fully remove the risk of the disease. An excessively long foreskin can easily cover foreskin smegma, and smegma is a breeding ground for bacteria. Long-term exposure to chronic irritation can also lead to balanoposthitis in men. In addition to completely eliminating the inflammation, these patients may need to undergo foreskin surgery. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
