Patient's question:
I have excessive foreskin, itchy inside the foreskin, and some odor. Then after a few days, there were small bumps on my foreskin and glans. Hello, is it balanoposthitis? What medication should I use? What should I pay attention to in terms of diet?Doctor's answer:
Balanitis refers to the inflammation of the glans penis. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritants, and other factors. Balanoposthitis refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and the glans penis. A normal foreskin cavity secretes a lipid substance. When the foreskin is too long or there is phimosis, this substance can accumulate as smegma, irritating the foreskin and glans penis, leading to balanoposthitis. Drug allergy-induced balanitis is a delayed-type allergic reaction and is very common in clinical diagnosis. It typically occurs 24 to 72 hours after medication.Map wave: When patients face urological problems, we should actively take treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention.
