Patient's question:
When taking a bath at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and it seemed a bit wrinkled and red. Recently, I also found that I wasn't urinating smoothly. After checking at the hospital, they said it was balanitis. I'm asking: How should I treat the itching on the head of my penis?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if there is a recurrence of scrotal dampness, it should be considered chronic prostatitis, which is also closely related to working in a hot environment for a long time or varicocele. Due to the numerous folds of the scrotal skin and a high number of sweat glands, as well as strong excretion and poor air circulation, wearing synthetic fabrics or tight pants and underwear can worsen the situation. It is recommended to wear loose cotton underwear to alleviate scrotal dampness.Scrotal itching can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor during treatment is essential, along with appropriate medication. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
