Patient's question:
Medical history: Three days ago, I noticed redness and swelling on my glans, itching, a fishy odor during urination, and a feeling of pain. The next day, the symptoms significantly improved, but red marks were still visible on the foreskin. Now, there's only a little itching left~! I haven't had sexual intercourse with my wife for a long time. I suspect it might have been acquired from a public bath.I have no history of harmful sexual behavior, but I do have a habit of masturbation. During orgasm, I always force myself to prevent ejaculation. Is this not good?
Please ask the doctor what this condition is and what medication is recommended. Thank you!
First follow-up question: It seems my problem has resolved now, so I don’t
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it is not ruled out that this condition could be balanoposthitis. Balanoposthitis is often seen in cases of excessive foreskin, phimosis, masturbation, trauma, and infection, leading to the shedding of keratinized epithelial cells and glandular secretion, creating a favorable environment for other bacteria to multiply and cause inflammation. Its clinical manifestations are commonly seen as local itching, redness, swelling, erosion, and even the formation of ulcers with discharge and a bad odor.
