Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Could you please explain what it means if there are grains on the penis without itching or pain?Doctor's answer:
It could be penile plaques, which are hard nodules formed by chronic fibrous tissue hyperplasia in the corpora cavernosa of the penis, and may lead to penile deformity. Treatment typically involves corticosteroid injections, oral vitamin E, local ultrasound therapy, or superficial X-ray irradiation. I believe most people are aware of the significant harm urinary tract infections can cause to patients, so it's important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues—opt for a light diet and avoid foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
