What is the condition when the foreskin is red and itchy?

Patient's question:

I graduated from university last year. Now I work at an internet company, and things are going smoothly for me. However, I don't have a girlfriend yet. Recently, I've noticed that my foreskin is red and sore. What should I do about it?

Doctor's answer:

If the patient has phimosis, and does not pay attention to personal hygiene, this redness and pain may not only be related to conditions such as balanitis. It is more commonly caused by bacterial infection. The patient can go to the urology department of a regular hospital for a follow-up examination, have the doctor conduct a thorough check, and follow the doctor's advice for treatment. During this period, it is important to drink more water, eat a light diet, avoid smoking and alcohol, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
