Patient's question:
The foreskin is a bit long, but it can be fully retracted to expose the glans. I clean the inner foreskin and glans every time I shower, but sometimes I still find the skin near the frenulum at the base of the glans a bit red and swollen, and sometimes it itches. What type of balanoposthitis is this symptom? Can I clean with just water? Can I use Jieryin liquid? Do I need surgical treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello! You can rinse the glans with clean water every day, but it is not recommended to use Jieryin liquid for washing, as it can cause dysbiosis and lead to other inflammatory conditions. Currently, you have phimosis, and it is best to consider surgery. Phimosis can easily cause various infections for both you and your sexual partner, may lead to masturbation behavior, affect sexual quality, result in paraphimosis, and even cause infertility or induce penile cancer. This surgery does not require hospitalization and can be performed in an outpatient setting.
