Patient's question:
A week ago, the redness and swelling of the glans had started to reappear, with some itching. I didn't pay much attention. Yesterday, some areas had started to form pus, and it was very painful when wearing clothes or accidentally touching them. What should I do if I have balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
Some people pay little attention to the hygiene of their private parts. They often fail to clean their private areas, only realizing their regret when inflammation reoccurs. It is essential to pay attention to cleaning the private parts regularly in daily life and maintain their cleanliness to prevent bacterial growth. Additionally, an overly long foreskin can provide a favorable environment for bacteria to thrive. Therefore, it is important to take care of one's private area. If an overly long foreskin is detected, it is advisable to promptly seek medical attention at a formal hospital for a foreskin removal surgery. This is the best way to protect one's health.
