Patient's question:
When taking a shower at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and the head of my penis 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. Please ask: How should I treat balanitis itching?Doctor's answer:
It is balanitis. Balanitis refers to the inflammation of the glans penis. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. It is recommended that you take oral anti-inflammatory medication and use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for external washing of the glans. The itching of the glans can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with your doctor during treatment, use medication appropriately, and also adopt a healthy lifestyle and diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
