Patient's question:
Penis prepuce is too long and glans is red and swollen, how to treatDoctor's answer:
The causes of balanitis are commonly seen in phimosis, paraphimosis, masturbation, trauma, and infections, etc., which lead to the shedding of keratinized epithelium and glandular excretion, creating favorable conditions for other bacteria to thrive, 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, it may present with fever, chills, systemic symptoms, or 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 considered early to prevent unsafe sexual practices. Wear loose clothing and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
