Patient's question:
I've been dating a girlfriend. We had sexual relations before, and later we got married. I can't control my sexual desire and often look for women to have sex with. In the past month, I haven't had any sexual activity because my glans has been a bit inflamed. Initially, there was local redness, redness and swelling of the penis skin, and a burning sensation with itching on the glans. When I retract the foreskin, I can see congestion and a messy discharge.Doctor's answer:
Inflammation of the glans penis is called balanitis. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. Balanoposthitis refers to inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans penis. A lipid substance secreted normally in the foreskin cavity can accumulate as smegma in cases of phimosis or excessive foreskin, irritating the foreskin and glans penis to cause balanoposthitis. Drug allergy-induced balanitis is a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction and is quite common in clinical diagnosis, typically occurring 24 to 72 hours after medication. In addition to timely treatment for balanitis, patients should maintain a positive attitude when facing the disease.
