Patient's question:
My friend has a symptom of itchy glans, it seems quite serious. What are the causes of itchy glans?Doctor's answer:
I. Lack of attention to hygiene.II. Excessively rough sexual intercourse.
III. Caused by phimosis or prepuce overgrowth. In cases of phimosis, the glans penis is always tightly covered by the foreskin and must be manually retracted to be exposed; in cases of paraphimosis, even manual assistance cannot retract the foreskin to reveal the glans. In such situations, the foreskin is more prone to accumulate smegma, and it is difficult to remove completely. The condition of balanitis tends to recur frequently, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be observed. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
