Patient's question:
My husband has recently been experiencing discomfort in his lower body and was diagnosed with an illness after a hospital examination. Seeing him often in pain makes me very worried. Could you please ask the doctor, how can the treatment for itchy glans be effective?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Your condition may be balanoposthitis, which can be caused by sexual activity and excessive foreskin. Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria can all lead to it. Alternatively, due to excessive foreskin and insufficient hygiene, smegma (accumulated dirt between the foreskin and glans) may build up, affecting the local foreskin and mucosa and causing inflammation again. It is recommended to visit the infectious disease department for a clear diagnosis, which will facilitate timely and appropriate treatment. Wishing you good health. For patients with glans itching, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility.
