Patient's question:
A week ago, I had balanitis, and during sex, the foreskin tore slightly at the connection with the glans, but it didn't break the skin. A week ago, I went to the hospital, got medicine, and the doctor said it would heal in a week. This morning, it tore again during intimacy, but this time the skin didn't break. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Clinically diagnosed with phimosis. Long-term accumulation of smegma; neglecting hygiene, unclean sexual contact transmitting pathogens such as mycoplasma, chlamydia, staphylococcus, etc., can all lead to balanoposthitis. It is recommended to first identify the cause before symptomatic treatment. Generally, it can be cured. At the same time, if phimosis is present, from the perspective of increasing the incidence of infection and reducing sexual quality, balanoposthitis is prone to recurring. Long-term medication intake is required.
