Patient's question:
Male, 24 years old, has been feeling uncomfortable down there for this period, with pain and itching. The glans seems particularly red and slightly swollen, with a very unpleasant odor. There are also yellowish secretions from the glans. Is this likely glans inflammation? Please ask: How can I safely relieve the itching around the glans?Doctor's answer:
You should have balanitis. It may be caused by trauma, infection, local irritation, drug effects, and so on. If the skin itching recurs, do not scratch it with your hands. Use an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving ointment locally to relieve symptoms. Pay attention to personal hygiene, clean the affected area daily, and wash underwear and pants frequently, keeping them always dry. Additionally, avoid sexual activity during treatment. Seek medical attention if necessary.In daily life, patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to stay fit, and keep a positive mood.
