Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with balanitis. I don't know much about this disease, so I would like to consult. How is it best to treat balanitis itching?Doctor's answer:
Red spots on the glans are a typical symptom of balanitis, which refers to inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans. Based on the examination results, it is important to take medication under the guidance of a doctor for standardized treatment. Additionally, personal hygiene should be maintained to prevent recurrence and transmission. Apply a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for local cleaning and keep the external genital area dry at all times. For patients with glans itching, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
