Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Could you please tell me why my husband's lower body is itchy and has small red spots?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the itchy condition with red spots on the glans may be considered balanitis, which is primarily caused by two factors: infectious and non-infectious factors. The infectious factors often include infections such as Candida, mycoplasma, chlamydia, and trichomonas. The non-infectious factors are usually due to excessive foreskin, poor long-term hygiene leading to the accumulation of smegma, which irritates the mucosa and causes inflammation. This is also a major cause of balanitis. I wonder if you have excessive foreskin? It is recommended to temporarily avoid sexual activity, actively seek medical treatment, identify the causative pathogen, and take medication accordingly to alleviate the pain and inconvenience caused by the disease. If you have excessive foreskin, it is advisable to undergo a circumcision to remove the triggering factors of the disease and improve your quality of life. Wishing you good health!
