Patient's question:
There is a white, slightly wrinkled, and slightly red ring around the head of the penis. It's also not very smooth when urinating. After checking at the hospital, it was diagnosed as balanitis. Please ask: How can itchiness of the head of the penis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, your condition is likely caused by balanitis, which is often triggered by factors such as friction from underwear, psychological trauma, or local irritation from soaps and cleaning agents. It manifests as swelling, redness, exudation, and erosion. Secondary infection may lead to purulent discharge, easily forming ulcers, accompanied by pain. You can use a 3% boric acid solution or a 0.05% emodin solution for wet compresses on the glans.Itchy glans can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medications appropriately, and adopt a healthy lifestyle with proper diet during the treatment period. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
