Patient's question:
I recently noticed a bit of odor in my glans while taking a shower. The FPSA (free prostate-specific antigen) test in my health check came back red. Could the slightly smelly glans be due to a prostatitis cyst of the prepuce?Doctor's answer:
Circumcision generally requires treatment. However, if symptoms such as difficulty urinating, straining, shortened urination time, or blisters at the tip of the foreskin during urination reappear, early treatment should be sought. The commonly used method is to pinch the base of the penis and push it inward to retract the foreskin as much as possible, but avoid excessive force to prevent the foreskin from tearing or getting damaged. Prostate cysts are prone to recurrence and require long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, it is important to abstain from sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
