Patient's question:
I've been experiencing a layer of white, film-like substance in my foreskin for the past year. I clean it every day, but it appears again the next day. I used to notice it only every two weeks. What could be the reason? Also, my sexual function has declined significantly recently. Is it related to this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the symptoms you described, it is possible that you may have a penile infection. In clinical practice, there are many types of pathogens that can cause penile infections, such as mycoplasma, chlamydia, fungi, staphylococcus, etc. Since the type of pathogen causing the infection varies, the medications used for treatment will also differ. Moreover, if penile infection is not treated promptly, it may lead to retrograde infection. Additionally, it can be transmitted to a sexual partner through sexual activity. Therefore, it is recommended that you visit our hospital's department of reproductive infections for consultation and undergo relevant tests under the guidance of a doctor.
