Patient's question:
I have recently noticed small, grainy bumps on my glans due to my foreskin, accompanied by a tingling sensation. When retracting the foreskin, I see white granular substances and a foul odor. Walking is particularly uncomfortable, and friction between my underwear and penis causes pain. How should balanoposthitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
If you have phimosis or other conditions, it is best to have surgery early to avoid easy recurrence of genital infections. It is recommended to undergo circumcision if conditions permit. If not possible, clean the foreskin and glans daily, and make sure to clean before sexual activity. Treatment for men is simple, involving the daily application of an external lotion, which usually heals within a week. The female partner can also use the same lotion for external washing or seek treatment at a hospital under a doctor's careful examination. Sexual activity is allowed during the treatment period.
