Patient's question:
It's been a while, and I've noticed that my glans is particularly dry, with something like dandruff falling off. I also feel itchy and painful. Is this balanitis? Please ask: Which hospital is better for treating red and swollen glans?Doctor's answer:
This may be a symptom of balanitis. This is due to poor hygiene, which may be a local infection. It is recommended: oral antibiotics and topical mupirocin ointment for treatment. If the foreskin is too long, it should be surgically removed. You must have the foreskin removed after the infection is controlled, otherwise the balanitis will not heal easily and may recur repeatedly. Prevention is entirely possible. Pay attention to good hygiene habits in daily life. Redness and swelling of the glans are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Also, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
