Patient's question:
My reproductive organ has a condition where the foreskin is present. There is often white discharge inside the glans, and it still comes out even after washing. I think I have balanitis. How is balanoposthitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis and balanitis can be caused by sexual activity and phimosis. Staphylococcus, streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, trichomonas, chlamydia, mycoplasma, fungi, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria can all lead to infection. Alternatively, due to phimosis and insufficient hygiene, dirt between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, may accumulate, stimulating the local foreskin and mucosa to cause inflammation again. It is recommended to visit the infectious disease department for a clear diagnosis to facilitate timely symptomatic treatment. Male diseases are very serious, and patients are advised to seek treatment immediately. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment.
