Patient's question:
Medical Description: In 2008, my grandmother developed an injury to the frenulum of the penis without seeking treatment. Treatment history and effectiveness: Did not seek treatment at the time. Desired help: Whether it can be treated because it is quite uncomfortable and affects sexual life, and I dare not get married.Doctor's answer:
The prepuce frenulum should be repaired promptly to prevent infection, and this is unrelated to phimosis. However, phimosis can easily lead to balanoposthitis. Balanoposthitis is caused by phimosis, as excessive foreskin prevents the timely removal of secretions from the inner foreskin, allowing pathogens to grow and multiply, resulting in local inflammation. Symptoms include: redness, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a bad odor.The solution depends on the severity: if mild, frequent rinsing with clean water may suffice; if severe, medical examination and treatment are necessary; if it recurs frequently, circumcision is the best option, as it completely prevents the occurrence of balanoposthitis.
