Patient's question:
I have noticed this symptom for a long time, but the condition has not improved. How should I treat the itching of the glans better?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Your condition may be balanoposthitis, which can be caused by sexual activity and excessive foreskin. Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, E. coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria can all lead to it; alternatively, due to excessive foreskin and insufficient hygiene, smegma (accumulated dirt between the foreskin and glans) may build up, irritating the local foreskin and mucosa and causing inflammation again. It is recommended to visit the infectious disease department for a definitive diagnosis, which will facilitate timely and appropriate treatment.
