Patient's question:
I have prostatitis. It hasn't healed yet, and I have nocturia. Sometimes I urinate frequently during the day, but I don't know why. Years ago, I had penile pearls. They were small, white dots, and after they appeared, my penis became prone to odor. I have phimosis, but I often expose my glans. Before my bath at night, if I touch the preputial area, it still smells a bit. What's going on? Before I had penile pearls, my penis wouldn't smell. But ever since they appeared, my penis has become prone to odor. I am very clean and bathe every day. I know penile pearls are nothing to worry about. What I want to know is: Am I infected with some bacteria? My prostate is...Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition may be balanitis. Recommendations: It is suggested to soak with 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution and apply an anti-inflammatory ointment. For allergic balanitis, oral antihistamines and topical corticosteroid ointments should be used. If phimosis or edema of the prepuce prevents immersion or causes poor drainage, and the inflammation does not subside with general treatment, preputial dorsal incision may be performed to facilitate drainage. should be performed after the inflammation has completely subsided.
