Patient's question:
My wife recently doesn't know if she has a gynecological inflammation, and I also feel that my glans has been itchy. Besides a lot of secretions, I have always had a foreskin and have been afraid to seek treatment. Recently, I've been feeling uncomfortable with my glans, and urination is painful. When I went to the hospital for a follow-up, I found out that I have balanoposthitis. What should I do if I have balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
Hypothesis: This is an easily overlooked factor. Excessive foreskin can easily lead to the accumulation of smegma, which then causes strong irritation to the foreskin and glans, ultimately resulting in inflammation. Some men, due to their behavior and lack of hygiene, frequently visit various social places. However, at this time, they may be susceptible to bacterial infections, leading to inflammation. Additionally, balanoposthitis transmitted through sexual activity is highly contagious.
