Patient's question:
Originally it wasn't itchy, but now it's a bit itchy. At first, I didn't take it seriously, but now there's redness at the head of the penis and some small red spots on the shaft.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to promptly visit a formal hospital for tests such as external genital secretion culture and bacterial culture to clarify the condition. Based on the test results, follow the doctor's advice and cooperate with treatment. Common causes of balanitis include infections from unsafe sexual practices, excessive foreskin, invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, and poor local hygiene. It is advised to pay attention to personal hygiene, especially local cleanliness, maintain a regular lifestyle, have a light diet, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
