Patient's question:
Red and itchy scalp, how much does the treatment cost?Doctor's answer:
The Impact of Balanitis on Sexual Function: In the early stages, it often presents with sexual intercourse pain, followed by minor fissures and mild swelling and pain on the inner foreskin and foreskin orifice. After topical disinfectant solutions and anti-inflammatory treatments, the inflammation subsides and wounds heal, but there is a significant tendency for scarring. This recurring process leads to hyperplasia and thickening of the inner foreskin and foreskin orifice, followed by scarring. Due to scar contraction, the foreskin orifice becomes narrow. During erection, the glans is pulled backward and compressed, causing issues such as weak erection, premature ejaculation, and other sexual dysfunctions. In severe cases, weak erection may prevent the completion of sexual intercourse. This further affects the patient's physical and mental health as well as the marital relationship.Advice and Recommendations: It is recommended to seek medical examination and treatment. Pay attention to hygiene in the external genital area. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, surgical treatment should be considered early. Avoid unsafe sexual practices, wear loose clothing, and adhere to dietary restrictions such as avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Wishing you good health.
