Patient's question:
Expert, recently my glans has been very uncomfortable, suspecting that I may have balanitis, so I want to consult the expert on what are the causes of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
A lipoid substance normally secreted in the foreskin cavity can accumulate as smegma under conditions of phimosis or paraphimosis, irritating the foreskin and glans to cause balanitis. When patients are affected by balanitis, we should actively conduct examinations and treatment without hesitation. If the balanitis does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the therapeutic plan. Additionally, patients should be advised to pay close attention to rest and avoid spicy and irritating foods during treatment.
