Patient's question:
I used to have balanitis, and it has recently recurred. Due to the inconvenience of studying, I am not able to have surgery. What medicine should I take?First follow-up question: I am 20 years old and have no history of unprotected sex.
Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is generally associated with genitourinary infections. The specific causative organism typically requires hospitalization for diagnosis, which involves a physical examination by experts combined with relevant auxiliary tests. Phimosis presents with local redness, swelling, papules, ulcers, etc. In some cases, bacteria may spread from the urethra into deeper parts of the body, potentially affecting the prostate, seminal vesicles, epididymis, testicles, and other male reproductive organs. Particularly in patients with phimosis, excessive secretions cannot be expelled, leading to the accumulation of smegma. Additionally, do you have any phimosis or other similar conditions? If you have phimosis, it is best to undergo surgery early to prevent recurrent infections of the genitalia.Recommendation: Please seek medical attention early for examination and diagnosis, followed by effective targeted treatment.
