Patient's question:
I want to know if balanitis is related to age. Thank you! What kind of help do you need: Is balanitis related to age?Doctor's answer:
Clinical diagnosis primarily manifests as moist, red, swollen, and painful glans and foreskin, with symptoms worsening after friction, accompanied by symptoms such as urgency and dysuria. If not treated promptly, the glans and foreskin may develop secondary erosion and ulcers, accompanied by creamy, foul-smelling purulent discharge. In severe cases, gangrene may recur, and it may also lead to prostatitis and infertility. If you notice any issues, please seek medical attention promptly. After identifying the cause, targeted treatment should be administered to avoid delaying the condition. The treatment should be determined based on the diagnosis, and during the course of treatment, local hygiene should be maintained. Those with excessive foreskin should clean it regularly. During the illness, sexual activity should be avoided. Wishing you good health.
