Patient's question:
Experts, I want to know how to find out the harm of balanoposthitis. I have a condition of excessive prepuce, and sometimes it itches. Recently, it has become red. Do you think it might be balanoposthitis? What are the harms of balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
Inflammation of the glans and foreskin. Recurrent inflammation at the urethral opening can lead to urethral stenosis after scarring, causing difficulty in urination. Long-term stimulation of the glans by smegma from the foreskin may also result in penile cancer. The condition of balanitis is very serious, and it is recommended that patients seek immediate treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
