Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable down there for a while. It's both painful and itchy, and my glans seems particularly red and a bit swollen. The odor is especially unpleasant, and there are yellowish secretions on my glans. Is this likely glans inflammation? I'd like to know: How is it best to treat glans itching?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis balanitis can easily lead to inflammation of the prostate, testicles, epididymis, vas deferens, and other organs. If it cannot be treated promptly and effectively, it can spread to each other and cause significant harm to perinatal health. Balanitis is also prone to cause downward infections in the urinary system, commonly seen in conditions like cystitis, nephritis, and pyelonephritis. If not properly managed during the acute phase, it can be life-threatening. During the inflammatory phase of balanitis, the sexual sensory nerves in the glans are damaged by the inflammation, making it easier for men to experience premature ejaculation during sexual activity, which can further lead to recurrent premature ejaculation.
