Patient's question:
Due to inflammation of the glans and foreskin, creams like Daktarin and Prickly Heat Relief were applied. Since then, the glans and foreskin have become dry without lubrication, and they tend to get inflamed during intercourse or with some friction. What could be the reason? What treatment methods can be used?First follow-up question: The glans is often in a dry state, and it gets inflamed, red, and swollen with slight friction, sometimes accompanied by red spots or patches. For the past six months, it has been recurring. Applying Prickly Heat Relief quickly reduces the redness and swelling, but it flares up again after intercourse or friction with underwear.
Doctor's answer:
Hello! The glans penis does not secrete mucus if it is not present. If there are symptoms of the glans, it is often caused by inflammation, commonly fungal infection. If there is difficulty in erection, it is important to check for prostatitis. If there are unhealthy masturbation habits, they can lead to chronic aseptic prostatitis, so such habits should be avoided.
