Patient's question:
I have phimosis and balanitis. At first, the foreskin and glans had small bumps, itching. Later, there was white substance (like smegma but not). Why did I get balanoposthitis? What medicine should I take, what cream should I apply? What are the causes of balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
Easy to be overlooked and untreated, due to the high incidence rate of balanitis, the initial symptoms are relatively mild, with intermittent improvement and worsening, making it easily neglected in daily life. By the time he returns for a serious consultation, complications and comorbidities have already developed, causing significant damage to the perinatal health system. Therefore, it is crucial to undergo early and thorough examinations and treatments.The treatment methods for balanitis first involve identifying the main causes, which are usually excessive foreskin or phimosis. Due to infrequent cleaning in these areas, the shedding of keratinized epithelial cells and the secretion of glands create a favorable environment for other bacteria to thrive, leading to chronic inflammation.
