What's wrong with the red and slightly itchy penis head and foreskin?

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. Could you please tell me what's wrong with my red and itchy glans and foreskin?

Doctor's answer:

You are describing balanitis, which is caused by phimosis, excessive prepuce, or poor personal hygiene. It is recommended to receive intravenous antibiotics or apply Ruyi Jin Huang ointment externally for treatment.
You mentioned phimosis and excessive prepuce, which can easily lead to balanitis. It is advised to undergo circumcision or laser treatment. After the surgery, a small amount of potassium permanganate powder should be dissolved in water for sitz baths. Adults may take a low dose of estrogen to prevent penile erection and bleeding, as well as to prevent infection.
