Patient's question:
My wife recently doesn't know if she has a gynecological inflammation, and I also feel that the position of my glans always has itchy symptoms, besides a lot of secretions. I have a foreskin myself and have always been afraid to treat it. Recently, I always feel uncomfortable with my glans, and urination is painful. When I went to the hospital for a follow-up check, 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 discretion in daily life, frequently visit various social places. However, at this time, they may be susceptible to bacterial infections, which can then cause inflammation. Additionally, balanoposthitis transmitted through sexual activity is highly contagious.
