Patient's question:
Got balanitis and phimosis three months ago, it was red, swollen, painful, and itchy. I visited two doctors, who prescribed a liquid to wash, ointment to apply, and anti-inflammatory medication. The symptoms disappeared, but I couldn't shake the anxiety. I kept worrying about the condition and went to see two urologists, who said everything was normal. Let's just go home! After returning home, I still couldn't stop looking it up. I felt that the shape before the inflammation was different—when it's cold in winter, the glans tightens, and the surface has fine lines and wrinkles. Is that normal? When it's hard, it's quite smooth.Doctor's answer:
As the picture shows, there is nothing wrong with it. Balanitis often reappears in individuals with excessive foreskin. It is recommended that if you have been taking medication regularly and the symptoms have disappeared, there is no major issue. Pay attention to local hygiene, maintain cleanliness at all times, and exercise appropriately. In fact, having balanitis is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as timely treatment is provided in the early stages, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
