Patient's question:
Recently, after having sex with my wife, I noticed that the skin around my glans was swollen and red, and it was itchy. There was also some pain when I urinated. I think I might have developed balanitis, and I want to go to the hospital to see a doctor. I would like to consult about which department to visit for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis requires consultation with a dermatologist. Generally, careful examination is needed to determine if there has been any unsafe or high-risk sexual activity. If symptoms reappear, early examination and treatment are essential. You can visit a urology department or andrology department. Treatment should be symptomatic, including selecting sensitive antibiotics and topical medications. Phimosis can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, dietary issues should be given attention, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. We hope that phimosis patients can receive professional treatment.
