Is it balanitis if there is white stuff when the foreskin is retracted?

Patient's question:

My illness has been going on for over a month. The foreskin has turned white, and after washing for the third night, there's more. If I rub the head of the penis a bit, it hurts. Is it balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

It should be smegma or balanitis. I suggest you go to the urology department of the hospital for a check-up. Confirm the diagnosis and then treat accordingly. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If not treated in a timely manner, it may affect your physical condition. Maintain cleanliness and dryness in the affected area. Therefore, patients need to take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene.
