Patient's question:
A doctor told me that I have inflammation of the scrotum. If I need surgery, I should first treat the inflammation. I don't know if I should have surgery or not?Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis, generally caused by excessive foreskin, where the inner lining's secretions cannot be promptly and thoroughly cleaned, allows pathogens to grow and adapt, leading to local inflammation. Symptoms may include: redness, swelling, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a foul odor. The solution is to regularly clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, circumcision may be necessary for complete treatment. It is best to seek treatment at a reputable large hospital.
