Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing itchy, which is quite embarrassing when I'm at work. I'd like to get it treated to see if it improves. How should one treat and alleviate?Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be balanoposthitis, a normal lipid substance secreted in the preputial cavity can accumulate as smegma under conditions of phimosis or excessive prepuce, irritating the prepuce and glans to cause balanoposthitis. Oral roxithromycin should be taken, supplemented with potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is recommended to frequently clean the prepuce and glans to maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the preputial cavity. For patients with glans itching, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should promptly receive symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
