Patient's question:
Colleagues have been saying recently that their glans is itchy, and they experience pain during urination, sometimes even difficulty urinating. When they look inside, it seems messy, with a purulent-like discharge coming out. They have been using Wufanjie for several days, but it's still the same; it's severely interfering with their intimate life. They say they haven't had sex in about half a month.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Balanitis is the most common type of disease. Nearly all patients have phimosis or excessive prepuce. Between the glans and the overhanging prepuce, shed epithelial cells, glandular secretions, and smegma bacteria create a warm, moist bacterial culture medium. Once bacteria enter, inflammation can occur. Oral treatment is also very effective. After full recovery, it is still important to pay attention to maintaining hygiene, frequently cleaning the penis, and changing underwear often. Underwear and socks should never be washed together. It is best to clean oneself before and after sexual activity.
