Patient's question:
Due to excessive foreskin, the glans head has become inflamed. If it is frequently washed, there are no symptoms. However, if it is not washed for a few days, it becomes inflamed, develops small red spots, and feels itchy. How should this be treated?Doctor's answer:
In your case, there is a preliminary diagnosis of balanitis. The causes are often due to phimosis, excessive foreskin, sexual intercourse, trauma, and infection, leading to the shedding of keratinized epithelium and glandular secretion, creating a favorable environment for other bacteria to thrive, which then causes inflammation. Diseases tend to evolve and change, so it is recommended that you actively seek a follow-up at the urology department of a hospital and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to local hygiene, drink plenty of water, and avoid unsafe sexual practices.
