Patient's question:
A week ago, the redness and swelling of the glans had started to reappear, with some itching, but I didn't pay much attention. Yesterday, it had started to form pus in some areas, and it was very painful when wearing clothes or accidentally touching it. What are the common causes of balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the redness and swelling of the foreskin and glans can be caused by infections. If the foreskin is too long, it may lead to this condition. Since yours has already developed pus, it seems to be quite serious. If you have a history of unprotected sex, you should consider other possible conditions.My personal advice is to go to a regular hospital and consult a professional doctor. Without seeing any symptoms of ulcers, it’s difficult to diagnose the condition. You can consider getting a urinalysis and blood tests. If you want to provide more specific information, it’s recommended to describe your symptoms. Avoid consuming foods, smoking, and drinking beer.
