Patient's question:
The foreskin may sometimes swell with white discharge. Even though I take a bath every day, it still gets dry and looks wrinkled, and it's a bit itchy. The glans is very red, and there are symptoms of peeling after sexual intercourse. Sometimes there are small blisters on the foreskin and glans. What are the symptoms of balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
1. Soak with warm salt water; salt water has the effect of softening hardness and promoting healing, with the benefits of reducing swelling and relieving pain. Alternate its use with potassium permanganate.2. After it's healed, undergo a circumcision procedure; otherwise, it may still become inflamed in the future, potentially leading to gynecological diseases after marriage.
3. Pay attention to personal hygiene, wash daily, and persistently scrub the groin area, as it is the most prone place for dirt and filth. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If not treated promptly, it may affect overall health.
