Patient's question:
There is always white discharge on the glans, and apart from a few small red spots, my friend said it's a symptom of balanitis. I don't really understand this condition, what are the symptoms of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Neglecting hygiene can easily lead to bacterial infections, causing inflammation of the foreskin of the penis. If you find that this issue keeps recurring, it is recommended that you consider surgery. In adults, balanoposthitis is not only related to excessive foreskin in some cases but also significantly influenced by factors such as unclean sexual intercourse, exposure to certain chemicals, and trauma. The accumulation of smegma, urine irritation, certain chemicals, friction from clothing, and trauma are also important factors in the development of balanoposthitis. If left untreated, it can affect your health. Avoid spicy foods.
