Patient's question:
Recently, my glans has been uncomfortable, occasionally with some crumbly discharge. I bought potassium permanganate solution and soaked for a few days before engaging in sexual activity. After soaking, there was a sensation, and lately, my foreskin has been tight. Previously, there was no such situation; it wasn't painful or tight, and I felt a kind of painful crack, but I couldn't find any wound.Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described, it appears there may be signs of phimosis (retracted prepuce). The curd-like discharge is a manifestation of smegma. The current solution is to undergo a circumcision procedure. Otherwise, if left untreated for a prolonged period, it may lead to balanitis. Avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods. For individuals with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and pay close attention to self-care in daily life to avoid consuming spicy foods.
