Patient's question:
Yesterday, I went to a hot spring with my friends, maybe the water there wasn't clean. After coming back, I felt it was especially itchy. There was also some white discharge on my glans, which was really disgusting. It was itchy, itchy.Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans penis. Balanoposthitis can be caused by infectious and non-infectious factors. Due to unprotected sex, infections with Candida albicans, Trichomonas vaginalis, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae can all lead to balanoposthitis. Non-infectious factors are often due to excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, and the accumulation of dirty substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, which can irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, causing inflammation again. In addition to active treatment, patients with urological diseases also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. A positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease. I hope the above answer can assist you.
