Male, 24 years old, prolonged prepuce, redness and swelling of the genitalia, yellow discharge from the urethral orifice

Patient's question:

1、3 days ago, discomfort in the lower body, severe redness and swelling of the genitalia, and yellowish-white discharge from the urethral opening
2、Long foreskin, previously had a mild infection which resolved the next day without causing much attention
3、No unsafe sex

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be due to phimosis, which refers to the foreskin covering the urethral meatus but can be retracted to expose the urethral meatus and glans penis, often accompanied by balanitis. Phimosis can lead to premature ejaculation. You may consider undergoing a circumcision, which can reduce the incidence of penile cancer.
