Patient's question:
I had phimosis and paraphimosis since I was a child, but I never did anything about it because I didn't feel any discomfort and it didn't seem to affect anything. Recently, however, I experienced it again—itching and bumps on the glans. Apart from some minor fluid leakage, I went to the clinic, and they said it was glans inflammation caused by the phimosis. I used the medication prescribed by the doctor, but it hasn't fully healed yet—there's still some itching, and the bumps haven't completely disappeared. What should I do about glans inflammation caused by phimosis and paraphimosis?Doctor's answer:
For balanitis caused by phimosis, the best solution is to undergo surgical treatment! The only effective way is to remove the excessive foreskin! It is recommended to wear loose-fitting pants and maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the affected area. Men with phimosis should retract the foreskin during bathing, clean the accumulated smegma thoroughly, and gently rinse the foreskin and glans with water. Balanitis can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, dietary considerations should be given importance, with a focus on a light and balanced diet. Professional treatment can be obtained for patients with balanitis.
