How to deal with balanitis and slightly long foreskin?

Patient's question:

The glans has two red areas that resemble ulcers, with red spots on the glans. It doesn't hurt much, but sometimes it itches. It has persisted for two months. Eating some local medications hasn't been effective. What should I do about balanitis with slightly prolonged foreskin?

Doctor's answer:

Hypospadias, where the glans is often tightly covered, can easily lead to the accumulation of smegma, which may cause inflammation of the glans and discomfort. Additionally, it can easily lead to recurrent gynecological infections in women. Hypospadias is prone to causing premature ejaculation. Circumcision generally does not have any postoperative complications, and glans inflammation can be cured. However, the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor during treatment, proper medication, a light diet, avoiding spicy foods, and refraining from smoking and drinking alcohol are essential.
