Patient's question:
The glans is both painful and itchy, and it's particularly red and slightly swollen. The odor is especially unpleasant, and there are yellowish secretions on the glans. Is this glans inflammation? Please ask: How should I treat glans itching?Doctor's answer:
Red spots on the glans are a typical symptom of balanitis, which refers to inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans. Based on the examination results, it is important to take medication under the guidance of a doctor for standardized treatment, while also paying attention to personal hygiene to prevent recurrence and transmission. Locally apply a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for cleaning, and maintain the external genital area dry at all times. Glans itching can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment plan is essential during the course of treatment, including appropriate medication use. Additionally, patients should follow a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
