What should I do if I get balanitis?

Patient's question:

Recently, my glans has been covered with small red spots and a lot of white discharge, which has made me very anxious. Later, I learned that it's a symptom of balanoposthitis. Experts, what should I do? What should I do if I have balanoposthitis?

Doctor's answer:

Hypothesis of the problem: Balanoposthitis, please go to the urology department for diagnosis. Specific treatment should be implemented under the guidance of local doctors, and local hygiene should be maintained at all times to prevent secondary infection. Wash the glans and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, it should be treated promptly, and circumcision may be necessary if necessary. It is very important to clean the smegma of the foreskin in a timely manner. If necessary, go to the hospital for a thorough examination to determine which pathogen is causing it. After identifying it, targeted treatment should be given, and active treatment should be carried out. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment cycle is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment.
