Patient's question:
On the last day of my wife's sexual activity, it was done, and it might not have been clean. A few days later, when it was done again, there was a sense of pain, apart from the itch of the foreskin.Doctor's answer:
1. Acute superficial balanitis, characterized by edema, erythema, exudation, and erosion, may lead to secondary infection with purulent discharge, easily forming ulcers, accompanied by pain.2. Circumferential erosive balanitis, presenting as ring-shaped lesions, or ring-shaped lesions with cheesy smegma, may break down over time into superficial ulcers.
3. Plasma cell balanitis, with plaques as the primary lesion, may have a smooth surface or scaling or be moist, with significant infiltration.
4. Mica-like and keratotic pseudopapillomatous balanitis, where the glans is infiltrated and thickened, with hyperkeratosis and mica-like crusts, the affected area loses normal elasticity and may atrophy over time.
