Patient's question:
Morning when I urinated, I retracted my foreskin and noticed three small red spots on my glans. (I had a similar symptom once before, but it disappeared on its own within two or three days.) I thought it would go away on its own and didn't pay much attention. At night while taking a bath, I washed my glans and foreskin with warm water. The next morning, the red spots had spread to the surrounding area, and small white had formed on the red spots. My husband has balanitis and phimosis. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
In your case, there is a preliminary diagnosis of balanitis, but it is not ruled out that there may be other infectious possibilities. The causes include: infectious ones are often caused by unsafe sexual contact, leading to the transmission of Candida albicans, trichomonas, chlamydia, mycoplasma, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria; other factors such as excessive foreskin, poor local hygiene, and trauma can also lead to this condition. Additionally, in daily life, it is important to avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene.
