Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with balanitis. I don't know much about this disease, so I'd like to consult. What causes the itching of the glans penis?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it does not exclude discomfort caused by balanitis. The common causes of this condition include: infectious ones often result from unsafe sexual contact, transmitting Candida albicans, trichomoniasis, chlamydia, mycoplasma, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria. Other factors such as phimosis, poor local hygiene, sexual activity, and trauma can also lead to this condition. It is recommended that you actively visit the reproductive infection department of a hospital for follow-up and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to local hygiene, drink more water, and avoid unsafe sexual contact.
