Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's wrong with me, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What should I do if there is mold on my glans?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be balanoposthitis, which can be caused by sexual activity and excessive foreskin. Infections with Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria can all lead to it; alternatively, due to excessive foreskin and inadequate hygiene, the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, can irritate the local foreskin and mucous membranes, causing inflammation. It is recommended to consult an infectious disease specialist for a definitive diagnosis to enable timely and appropriate treatment.
