Patient's question:
Before divorce, I was extremely obsessed with sexual intercourse for two years. Now, in a normal state, my penis appears small, but when erect, it measures about 13 cm. How normal is this? After erection, about half of the head of the penis is exposed. Is this considered phimosis? Additionally, I feel I have balanitis. If I don’t clean for a few days, I get smegma and a bad odor. After rinsing with clean water, it doesn’t hurt or itch for several days, unless the smegma builds up and starts to cause some itching. When retracting the foreskin, it seems to stick to the head of the penis, requiring effort to slowly pull it back. My sexual quality varies. What type of balanitis do I have, and how should it be treated?Treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help do I need: Please do not copy and paste from other sources. I expect the doctor to explain my specific situation. Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
In this case, balanoposthitis should be considered, with a high likelihood of bacterial infection. You can use potassium permanganate solution for soaking and cleaning. Apply erythromycin ointment or mupirocin ointment externally, twice a day, for one to two weeks. Pay attention to local hygiene and avoid any irritation. Wear loose underwear, avoid spicy foods, and drink plenty of water. During treatment, it is best to avoid sexual activity and intercourse. Wash underwear with boiling water to sterilize them and change them daily.
