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 a bit swollen. The smell is also quite unpleasant, and there's yellow discharge from my glans. Is this likely glans inflammation? I'd like to know: What's the best way to treat glans itching?Doctor's answer:
It is balanitis, which refers to the inflammation of the glans penis. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. It is recommended that you take oral anti-inflammatory medication and use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for local washing. For patients with balanitis itching, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
