Patient's question:
It's been a while, and I've noticed that my glans is particularly dry, with some flaky stuff falling off, like dandruff. I also feel itchy and painful. Is this balanitis? Please ask: What are the symptoms of itchy glans?Doctor's answer:
A male friend experiencing symptoms of a itchy glans again cannot be confirmed as balanitis. A detailed examination in a hospital is necessary to determine this. However, you do not have other symptoms reappearing. Generally, balanitis is accompanied by other symptoms, such as redness and swelling of the glans, or slightly foul-smelling discharge. It is recommended to promptly visit a hospital for examination and treatment. Patients with balanitis should avoid certain foods in their daily lives, especially seafood, as excessive consumption of such foods can either trigger or exacerbate the recurrence of balanitis. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to dietary restrictions during daily life.
