Patient's question:
Not treated yet, I only found out online that it's balanitis. Recently, there were red spots on my glans with itching, and then it turned into white stuff! It needs to be washed every day; if not washed for a day, it gets very smelly and itchy!Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is generally related to genitourinary infections. What specifically causes it usually requires a diagnosis by a medical professional through a physical examination combined with relevant auxiliary tests. Phimosis is characterized by local redness, swelling, papules, and ulcers. In some cases, bacteria can spread along the urethra into deeper parts of the body, potentially affecting the prostate, seminal vesicles, epididymis, testicles, and other male reproductive organs. Particularly in patients with phimosis, excessive secretions cannot be expelled, leading to the accumulation of smegma. Additionally, do you have any phimosis or other similar conditions? If you do, it is best to undergo surgery early on to prevent potential genital infections. If convenient, you can come to the hospital for examination, and after a confirmed diagnosis, effective targeted treatment can be provided.
