Patient's question:
After masturbation, the foreskin became slightly red and swollen. I didn't pay much attention at the time because I had experienced this before and it resolved quickly. This time, on the third day, I noticed that the foreskin at the corona of the glans had become red and swollen again, and the second side above the glans was also red. I suspected it might be balanitis, so I bought some anti-inflammatory medication and applied an anti-inflammatory ointment. Two days later, I noticed that the swelling had subsided somewhat, but the glans was still very red and had small blisters. The foreskin on one side of the corona had again developed the appearance of an ulcer.Doctor's answer:
Masturbation generally does not cause the situation you described, as what you mentioned should be balanoposthitis caused by infection. You should also check if you have had any recent unprotected sexual contact. If you have, it could be a possible case of a sexually transmitted disease. It is recommended to upload your symptoms or visit a local hospital for examination to confirm the diagnosis. For patients with severe balanitis, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of balanitis. In addition, patients should pay attention to their diet and psychological care. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
