Patient's question:
My foreskin is a bit long. At first, there were small red spots on my glans, with some itching and slight pain, but they went away on their own, so I didn't take it seriously. Later, I noticed a sticky substance mixed with white discharge, which came off in clumps when I showered, and it had a bit of an odor. This has been causing some inconvenience in my daily life. What medicine would be suitable for this?Doctor's answer:
Inflammation of the glans penis is called balanitis. Causes: 1. Non-communicable factors. 2. Candida infection. 3. Amoebic infection. 4. Trichomoniasis infection. Additionally, apart from some causes of balanitis being unclear, phimosis and the irritation of smegma are often associated with the recurrence of balanitis. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to develop good living habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period.
