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 penile itching is usually treated in general?Doctor's answer:
It is likely that you have developed balanitis, which has caused discomfort symptoms. The main cause is bacteria and symptoms resulting from unclean sexual practices. You can take some anti-inflammatory drugs to clear heat and expel fire, or apply a topical ointment for treatment, such as erythromycin ointment or hydrocortisone ointment. Pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid cross-infection, and use Funian Jie for cleaning. The condition of the foreskin is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to limit sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
