Patient's question:
There is white foreign matter in the foreskin, and I have been cleaning it regularly every day these past few days. Is it because of poor personal hygiene? But I feel it's troublesome to wash every day, and I don't know if I should wash it every day. Why does this grow in the foreskin? Is there white discharge in the foreskin because of a disease?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described, it seems that there has been a recurrence of a significant amount of discharge. If you do not pay attention to cleaning, it is more likely to recur with balanitis and phimosis. The recurrence of pain and swelling in the foreskin suggests that you need to be more careful when bathing. If inflammation recurs, potassium permanganate solution can be used for treatment. After becoming ill, avoid drinking beer and eating irritating foods. The condition of the foreskin tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
