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 are yellowish discharge from my glans. Is this likely glans inflammation? I'm asking: Can itchy glans be treated and cured?Doctor's answer:
This condition should be balanitis. You can soak it in a 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution and apply an anti-inflammatory ointment. Additionally, apart from allergic balanitis and fungal balanitis, it is best to visit a dermatology or urology department for a thorough examination to determine the type of inflammation. Confirm the diagnosis before starting treatment. Pay attention to hygiene, avoid spicy foods, and be aware that balanitis itching can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
