Patient's question:
Today I noticed that my glans is very red and swollen, and it looks a bit congested. There are many red spots on it, and sometimes it will seep pus. After a thorough examination, it was said to be balanitis. Symptoms of balanitis appear?Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis is a local inflammation. The area is special, and this part tends to be moist, making it easy for bacteria to grow. Some people may have a long foreskin, and those with a long foreskin are more prone to balanoposthitis. Additionally, the foreskin area can produce smegma. If it is not cleaned properly, the accumulation of smegma can easily lead to bacterial growth. It may also be caused by sexual contact or indirect contact.
