Patient's question:
I have naturally a bit long foreskin. Six months ago, I had an unclean sexual encounter. After that, some white stuff has appeared intermittently on my glans, and it smells very bad and itches. I have to wash it every morning and evening.Doctor's answer:
1. Pay attention to local hygiene and clean daily.2. If the foreskin is too long, seek timely treatment. Circumcision may be necessary if needed. It is essential to clean the foreskin regularly.
3. If one partner has a genital disease, sexual activity should be paused, and timely treatment is required. If the inflammation is caused by trichomoniasis or candidiasis, both partners should be treated simultaneously.
4. Avoid unsafe sex and maintain a clean lifestyle.
5. If ulcers or erosion occur, change the medication promptly to avoid discomforting irritation.
6. For acute balanitis, avoid using corticosteroid creams to prevent more severe consequences.
