Patient's question:
Hello! What is the disease of glans and prepuce edema, and how is it treated?Doctor's answer:
First, balanitis caused by bacterial infection; second, allergic skin diseases triggered by local skin irritation. Which one it is requires further careful examination and speculation. Alternatively, if the foreskin is too long and not cleaned properly, dirty substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, may accumulate, stimulating the local foreskin and mucosa to cause inflammation again. Patients can go to a formal hospital for follow-up to confirm the cause and receive targeted treatment. Foreskin conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term oral medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to seek medical attention promptly at a professional and formal hospital and consider treatment based on examination results.
