Patient's question:
These days, I've noticed that the head of my penis is a bit red and itchy, and sometimes there's also some white discharge. The foreskin is a bit itchy too. I'm guessing it might be inflamed?Doctor's answer:
Erythema of the glans, itching, discharge of white fluid. If there is no history of unsafe sex, consider balanitis. Balanitis is usually seen in patients with phimosis, with local redness, abnormal discharge, and a tendency towards unsafe sex. It is recommended to maintain cleanliness of the glans, and can apply mupirocin ointment. If ineffective, consult a urologist for follow-up. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated in time, it may affect the physical condition. Therefore, patients should take medication in a timely manner and avoid overwork in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene.
