Patient's question:
Since my boyfriend got balanitis two days ago and had sex, he has been experiencing itching and a milky discharge in his lower body for the past two days, with some pain.Doctor's answer:
The main cause of balanitis is excessive foreskin or phimosis, as the local area cannot be cleaned frequently. The shedding of keratinized epithelial cells and glandular secretion create favorable conditions for the growth of other bacteria, leading to chronic inflammation. Currently, in addition to systemic antibacterial treatment for balanitis, local cleaning should be performed. Balanitis can recur, and circumcision should be performed only after the inflammation has completely subsided! It is recommended to seek treatment at relevant professional and standardized hospitals.
