Patient's question:
My foreskin is a bit long, but it hasn't affected my sex life, so I didn't do anything about it. However, recently my glans has been very red, and there's also some pain during urination, which seems a bit inflamed. Is balanoposthitis a skin disease?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis and balanitis are not skin diseases; they are inflammatory conditions. Phimosis and balanitis can easily lead to inflammation of organs such as prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, and vas deferens. If not treated promptly and effectively, they can spread and infect each other. It is important to pay attention to hygiene practices. Male diseases can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, focus on self-care practices, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding foods.
