Patient's question:
For the first five days, I had peeling of the glans due to balanitis. I went to a top-tier hospital for thorough examinations for sexually transmitted diseases and balanitis. The report confirmed it was balanitis. The hospital prescribed Azithromycin tablets, Yinhuai Muyanling, and some prostate medications. Now, it has started to improve, but in recent days, my urination has been very frequent, and the difference in urination is significant. When I urinate more, I don't feel the difference is large, but when I urinate less, the difference is very noticeable. I want to ask what could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis will never lead to a divided urethra; it is prostatitis that causes a divided stream of urine. You need to be clear about this. Phimosis only recurs with symptoms like redness, swelling, itching, and pain on the glans, and it will never spread to the urethra. Phimosis is primarily related to hygiene, and your medications have little to do with it. I hope my advice can bring you some relief. Phimosis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment.
