Hello. Was white patches on the head of the penis and unpleasant smell. During the year, a month ago. Can there be any complications, and whether now to go to the doctor. And anyway ,what was it? Paul -40 years.

Response: "Hello! Most likely you had balanoposthitis (often fungal nature). There may be complications. So for the sake of prevention is worth a person to consult a doctor and find out in what state now You have a reproductive system. It is easier to prevent complications than long, and sometimes unsuccessfully to treat them. Better now to go to the appointment with the andrologist (urologist) and pass a General smear+PCR+secret of the prostate. I wish you health"
