Patient's question:
When taking a shower at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and it 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. Please ask: How do I deal with itchy foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Hypospadias often causes itching, primarily because it is prone to the accumulation of smegma, leading to bacterial infections and inflammation of the foreskin and glans. It is recommended to apply erythromycin ointment locally and use iodine for sterilization. Once the inflammation subsides, it is advisable to seek circumcision treatment at a reputable public hospital as soon as possible. The foreskin can heal, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor during treatment, use medication appropriately, and adopt a healthy lifestyle and diet during the healing process. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
