Patient's question:
I'm over 20 this year, I've had a girlfriend, and we have a very good relationship. But I'm confused because every time my girlfriend asks for sex, I hesitate. This is because my foreskin is very long, and there are some small white particles under my glans, like mites. They don't hurt or itch, and they've been there for several years without any change. I remember when I first noticed them, I used a needle to pick one open, and there were small white dots inside. Then the wound started bleeding. I'm afraid it might be an infectious disease and could be transmitted to my girlfriend, so I always refuse. Although she doesn't say anything, I know she's upset inside. Can a doctor help me?Doctor's answer:
Because you have a problem of phimosis, the main reason for these symptoms is phimosis. Due to the secretion of sebaceous glands and epidermal desquamation, it is easy to form smegma. Smegma can lead to balanitis, followed by bacterial infection causing chronic inflammation. The long-term stimulation of smegma can lead to penile cancer.It is recommended that you seek timely examination and treatment at a professional urological hospital. It is also recommended that you moderate sexual activity. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Quit smoking and drinking. Avoid prolonged sitting or long-distance cycling. If other discomforts occur, it is advised to seek surgical treatment at a professional urological hospital in a timely manner to avoid unnecessary troubles.
