Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I got home at night, I noticed a red ring on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. At the time, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. I would like to ask: Which hospital is more appropriate to go to for itchy glans?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is likely that the condition is caused by. In cases of phimosis or excessive prepuce, such substances can accumulate as smegma, irritating the prepuce and glans to cause balanitis. It is recommended that you undergo a thorough examination to identify the causative pathogen and actively treat the infection. If necessary, a prepuce surgery may be considered. Additionally, pay close attention to local hygiene, change underwear frequently, reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, and drink more warm water. For patients with glans itching, timely treatment can help reduce the recurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent overexertion, and pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
