Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came home at night, I noticed a red ring on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. At the time, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. Please ask: What are the specific symptoms of itchy glans?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, in such a case, it is likely that you have balanitis. This is generally caused by local poor hygiene and infection. The red spots on the local area are a sign of an allergic reaction. It is recommended to take fluconazole capsules and apply topical antifungal creams such as clotrimazole. You can also use physiological saline or 0.1% rivanol solution to clean the glans and foreskin, thoroughly removing any dirt. After the symptoms subside, continue treatment for more than one week. Generally, the condition will improve. Balanitis itching can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
