Patient's question:
Hypospadias, but the glans can be exposed. There's a pimple-like, rice-grain-sized bump at one side of the urethral opening. It's been about a year. Usually, there's no significant discomfort, but sometimes it can be a bit painful when rubbing against underwear. Today, I felt itchy and noticed many small red bumps on the coronal sulcus, which just appeared. I haven't had sexual activity in the past two years, but I have had sex before. What could this be?Doctor's answer:
That's right, the symptoms of balanoposthitis are caused by excessive foreskin. The symptoms of balanoposthitis are usually common in people with excessive foreskin. Because the glans normally has excretory functions, the secretions don't directly stain the underwear but are trapped in the coronal sulcus by the foreskin, leading to balanoposthitis. It is recommended to retract the foreskin as much as possible. If obesity is a contributing factor, dietary restrictions may be necessary. If the balanoposthitis is caused by excessive foreskin, it is essential to clean the glans coronal sulcus thoroughly after each urination, or consider circumcision for complete recovery.
