Patient's question:
Over a year has passed, it started small but has grown considerably since then. I haven't visited a doctor for it.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it might be balanitis, which refers to inflammation of the glans mucosa. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. Balanoposthitis refers to inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is related to damp-heat accumulation in the lower jiao and liver channel damp-heat. It can be treated with Longdan Xiegan Decoction or with a decoction of Sophora flavescens for fumigation and washing. I believe most people know that urinary tract infections can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
