Patient's question:
I am 21 years old this year, and I have had balanitis for more than a month. It was getting better, but it returned in the past two days. I have some urgency to urinate. Upon careful examination, there are fewer lecithin corpuscles, and there is prostatitis, which is aseptic. The doctor asked me to have my foreskin cut. I don't want to have it cut. Is it necessary for the patient to have it cut? Can I wash with salt water every day for balanitis? How can balanitis and prostatitis beed? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
The patient's condition is considered to be pearly penile papules, which appear on the edge of the male glans. They are small, millet-sized papules arranged in a uniform and orderly manner, with the same skin color as the surrounding area. There is no inflammatory reaction, and the patient experiences no discomfort. This is pearly penile papules. If an acetic acid test is performed, it will be negative, meaning that the 5% acetic acid solution does not cause whitening when applied. This condition is seen in males after puberty and is completely normal, requiring no treatment.
