What should I do if I have red spots on my glans due to balanitis?

Patient's question:

Recently, there have been red spots on the glans again, and there are also on the foreskin. Is it necessary to have a circumcision?

Doctor's answer:

Phimosis is an infectious condition caused by bacteria entering the preputial cavity. It is primarily due to poor hygiene and unclean external genitalia, making it easier for pathogens to spread. It can lead to male infertility and sexual dysfunction, and in the long term, it may cause premature ejaculation. The re-emitted liquid can accumulate under the foreskin, forming cheesy-smelling smegma. Circumcision, refraining from sexual intercourse, and a balanced diet are important. In the early stages of inflammation, potassium permanganate or boracic acid solution can be used for local cleaning. Phimosis can be alleviated, but the treatment process is generally slow. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment.
