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. I also found that I wasn't urinating smoothly. After checking at the hospital, they said it was balanitis. Question: What symptoms do patients with itchy glans have?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the condition you are experiencing is likely balanitis, which is usually caused by local poor hygiene or infection. The red spots are likely an allergic reaction. It is recommended to take fluconazole capsules and use antifungal creams such as clotrimazole. You can also use physiological saline or 0.1% rivanol solution to clean the glans and foreskin, removing any dirt. Generally, after the symptoms subside, continue treatment for more than one week, and the condition should improve. For patients with severe glans itching, it is advised to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition. The above advice is for reference only. We hope the answer above can help you. Thank you.
