Patient's question:
The head of the turtle does not wash for a few days and has an odor, what disease is it?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Do you have any other discomfort symptoms? Based on your description, it is more likely to be balanoposthitis, but other possibilities cannot be ruled out. Common causes can be either infectious or non-infectious. Unprotected sexual contact leading to infections with Candida, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae can all cause balanoposthitis. Non-infectious factors are often due to excessive foreskin, poor hygiene, or the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, which can irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, leading to inflammation. It is recommended to pay attention to local hygiene and seek timely examination at a formal and professional urological hospital to identify the cause, receive targeted treatment, and avoid affecting your quality of life. I hope my answer helps you! 13
