Patient's question:
Penis hood excess and redness of the glans how to treatDoctor's answer:
The causes of balanitis are commonly seen in phimosis, paraphimosis, masturbation, trauma, and infections, leading to the shedding of keratinized epithelium and glandular excretion. This creates favorable conditions for other bacteria, resulting in inflammation. The clinical manifestations are often localized itching, redness, swelling, erosion, and even ulcers, accompanied by abnormal discharge and odor. In severe cases, symptoms may include fever, chills, systemic symptoms, and even penile swelling and pain. It is recommended to seek medical examination and treatment. Pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia. If phimosis or paraphimosis is present, surgical treatment should be performed early to prevent unsafe sexual practices. Wear loose clothing and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
