Patient's question:
I noticed that my glans seems to have some blisters, red, swollen, and itchy. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's balanitis. I haven't really done anything, so how did I get this condition? Please ask: How should I treat glans itching?Doctor's answer:
Inflammation of the glans penis is called balanitis. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. It is recommended to take oral anti-inflammatory medications and use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for local washing. Balanitis itching is curable, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment, proper medication use, a light diet, avoiding irritating foods, and not smoking or drinking beer are essential. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
