What is balanoposthitis?

Patient's question:

Below there is something white, except what is the thing with the bubbles. Recently, I have eaten Yán Rè Qīng Piàn and Erythromycin. Is it getting better quickly?

Doctor's answer:

Balanoposthitis is generally caused by excessive foreskin, which keeps the glans penis covered for a long time, leading to the inability to remove dirt and debris promptly. It may also be due to insufficient attention to the hygiene of the glans penis. If you do not want to undergo a circumcision, it is recommended to change your underwear and socks frequently and maintain good hygiene of the penis. For patients with balanoposthitis, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of outbreaks. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication that targets the symptoms and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life.
