Patient's question:
Recently, I've experienced edema, redness, exudation, purulent discharge, glans itching, and rubbery swelling of the glans, which has been affecting the health of the glans. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the hospital diagnosed it as balanoposthitis. What are the early symptoms of balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
Except for physiological phimosis and excessive prepuce. Redness and swelling of the glans may recur due to irritation from smegma after sexual maturity or in rare cases of mechanical injury. This leads to a hot inflammatory change; infectious or transmissible diseases. Unless caused by infectious factors, balanitis is included. In other words, balanitis caused by pathogenic microorganisms is the dominant factor. It is recommended to promptly visit a hospital for a thorough examination of the cause to avoid delaying the condition and affecting health. Long-term oral medication is required. It is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly at a professional and reputable hospital. Additionally, sexual activity should be restricted, and a positive mood should be maintained.
