Patient's question:
Male, 30 years old, recently bought a bottle of Yifuwang to treat tinea, the proof says it can treat balanitis. Many needle-sized bumps have grown on his glans, arranged neatly, especially in the coronal sulcus. Because his wife always has gynecological inflammation, especially worsening after intercourse, he wonders if he might also have balanitis.Doctor's answer:
Balanitis, also known as balanitis, refers to the inflammation of the glans penis caused by factors such as trauma, irritation, or infection. Since balanitis often coexists with inflammation of the inner foreskin, the two conditions are typically referred to together as balanoposthitis. The main clinical manifestations include local redness, swelling, erosion, and ulcer formation. Balanoposthitis can lead to retrograde infection of the urinary system, causing conditions such as cystitis and pyelonephritis. Additionally, if the inflammation is not treated promptly, it can directly affect sexual life, leading to phenomena such as impotence and premature ejaculation. This condition is more common in summer and autumn, particularly among middle-aged and young men, especially those with phimosis or excessive foreskin.
