Patient's question:
10.1 After returning from a 7-day business trip, I had sex with my wife and started experiencing pain right away. At first, there was a white ring around the head of my penis, followed by small red spots appearing on the head. On the 25th, my wife went home and didn't return until yesterday. We had sex last night, and today the pain has returned. During the time she was away, there was no pain.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it might be balanitis, which refers to the inflammation of the glans penis. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. Balanoposthitis refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and the glans penis. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is related to damp-heat accumulation in the lower body and liver channel damp-heat. It can be treated with Longdan Xiegan Decoction or by soaking in a decoction of bitter melon. I believe most people are aware of the significant harm that phimosis can cause to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues, and maintain a light diet, avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
