Patient's question:
The course of the illness has been about 6 or 7 years. Whenever I have diarrhea, the foreskin and glans will turn red within one or two hours, and then swell a few hours later. I often apply anti-inflammatory ointments and take anti-inflammatory medication, which usually takes about a week to heal. Could this inflammation lead to cancer?Doctor's answer:
In your case, you have phimosis. It is recommended to undergo surgery as early as possible, and at the same time, you need to endure sitz baths with warm salt water. Pay attention to preventing the accumulation of smegma in daily life, and change your underwear frequently, which is beneficial for stabilizing the symptoms. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is necessary to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital as soon as possible, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, and maintain good personal hygiene.
