Patient's question:
I recently noticed white cheesy patches in my foreskin and on the corona of my glans, as well as needle-sized pale red papules on the glans. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have balanoposthitis. What is balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
Penile and glans inflammation is generally characterized by an increase in secretions, or a foul-smelling, unpleasant odor, along with frequent urination and urgency. It is recommended to actively seek treatment at this time, pay attention to cleaning, change underwear and pants daily, and avoid tight clothing and synthetic fabrics. During treatment, sexual activity must be avoided to prevent cross-infection. Glans inflammation can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication must be used appropriately during treatment.
