Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable down there for a while. It's both painful and itchy, and my glans seems particularly red and slightly swollen. The odor is especially unpleasant, and there are yellowish secretions on my glans. Is this likely glans inflammation? I'm asking: Which hospital is good for treating glans itching?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be caused by an infection due to excessive foreskin or unclean sexual activity. In clinical diagnosis, infectious balanoposthitis is more common. Infectious cases are often caused by infections with Candida albicans, Trichomonas vaginalis, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria through unprotected sex. Non-infectious factors are mostly due to excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, or the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans. For example, smegma can build up, stimulating the foreskin and mucosa to cause recurrent inflammation. It is recommended to seek medical attention for a definitive diagnosis. If the foreskin is excessive, circumcision may be advised. Thank you very much for your encouragement in seeking medical advice. Glans itching can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medication must be used symptomatically during treatment.
