Patient's question:
The top of the foreskin is red and swollen, and it hurts when touched. There are some red spots on the glans. I searched online and it said it might be balanitis. I'm not sure if it's true.Doctor's answer:
Phimosis balanitis is caused by excessive foreskin, which leads to the accumulation of smegma and subsequent irritation, causing inflammation. It is recommended to regularly retract the foreskin, clean it with shower water, maintain good hygiene, and apply rice flour to heal. This is a urological condition that is difficult to recover from. Friends suffering from this should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating the condition and believe that recovery is possible.
