Patient's question:
I have an 18-year-old son who is currently in his senior year of high school and will soon take his final exams this year. However, recently, I suddenly noticed something was wrong with my son downstairs. He later told me that sometimes it itches. I took a look and noticed some redness and swelling downstairs. After taking him to the hospital, we found out it was balanitis.Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is the inflammation of the glans mucosa, also known as balanitis. It is one of the diseases affecting men. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. The most common cause of balanitis is bacterial or fungal infections resulting from poor hygiene during penile cleaning. In addition, during the treatment of balanitis, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. Patients must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of balanitis.
