Patient's question:
When taking a shower at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and the head of my penis seemed a bit wrinkled and red. Recently, I also found that I wasn't urinating smoothly. After checking at the hospital, they said it was balanitis. I'm asking: What should I pay attention to in the initial treatment of itchy glans to get better?Doctor's answer:
Hello. This situation should be balanitis. You can soak it in a 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution and apply an anti-inflammatory ointment. Additionally, besides allergic balanitis and fungal balanitis, it is best to go to the dermatology department or urology department for a follow-up examination to check for the type of inflammation. Confirm the diagnosis before treatment. Pay attention to hygiene in daily life. Avoid spicy foods. Balanitis itching can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should have a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
