Abstract

This case report documents the rapid onset of balanoposthitis in a 58-year-old male patient diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus just 2 weeks prior. The patient presented with acute penile pain, swelling, and purulent discharge, necessitating circumcision due to balanoposthitis and phimosis. The diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus 14 days prior highlights the potential for rapid development of balanoposthitis despite practicing proper hygiene. This underscores the importance of healthcare practitioners proactively examining the penile area in newly diagnosed diabetic patients to prevent balanoposthitis and, conversely, screening patients with balanoposthitis for type 2 diabetes mellitus.

2型糖尿病患者的短暂秃顶：病例报告

本病例报告记录了一名 58 岁的男性患者在 2 周前被诊断出患有 2 型糖尿病，但很快就患上了包茎。患者出现急性阴茎疼痛、肿胀和脓性分泌物，由于包茎和包皮过长，不得不进行包皮环切术。患者在 14 天前被诊断出患有 2 型糖尿病，这凸显出尽管患者保持了良好的卫生习惯，但仍有可能迅速发展为包茎。这强调了医护人员主动检查新诊断出的糖尿病患者阴茎部位以预防包茎的重要性，反之，检查包茎患者是否患有 2 型糖尿病也很重要。
