Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable downstairs for this period, it's both painful and itchy, and it seems like my glans is particularly red and a bit swollen. The smell is especially unpleasant, and there are yellowish secretions on my glans. Is this balanitis? Please ask: How can balanitis be treated to get betterDoctor's answer:
The surface of the glans is not smooth and cannot prove that it is inflamed. Most cases of balanitis have obvious abnormalities, such as local redness, papules, itching, pain, or discharge. Currently, if you feel any abnormalities in your glans, you can first pause sexual activity. At the same time, use an antibacterial wash daily to clean the glans and inner side of the foreskin, maintaining good hygiene. Change your underwear frequently and choose loose, breathable options.
