Patient's question:
Doctor: Hello! You have given me a reply, thank you very much, but I still don't know what "infection" means because it's my first time getting this illness. Does "infection" mean it was transmitted to me by a woman, or is there another meaning? Please tell me, doctor.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is possible that you may have balanitis. Generally, balanitis is caused by the inability to clean the inner foreskin secretions promptly, allowing pathogens to grow and multiply, leading to local inflammation. Symptoms include redness, swelling, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a bad odor.In daily diet, it is recommended to eat light and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Rest and avoid overexertion. Avoid using corticosteroid ointments to prevent more severe infections. Refrain from masturbation and unsafe sex. If you have trichomoniasis or candidiasis, both partners should be treated simultaneously.
