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. Why does my glans have an odor and white discharge?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the causes of balanitis are commonly seen in phimosis, paraphimosis, masturbation, trauma, and infections, etc. These conditions lead to the shedding of keratinized epithelium and glandular secretion, creating a favorable environment for other bacteria to multiply, resulting in inflammation. The clinical manifestations are often localized itching, redness, swelling, erosion, and even ulcers, accompanied by discharge and a bad odor. In severe cases, it may cause fever, chills, systemic symptoms, or even penile swelling and pain. It is recommended to seek medical examination and treatment. Pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia. If there is phimosis or paraphimosis, surgical treatment should be considered early. Avoid unsafe sexual practices, wear loose clothing, and adhere to a diet that avoids spicy and irritating foods. Wishing you good health!
