Patient's question:
When taking a bath 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 is it better to treat foreskin itching?Doctor's answer:
Itching of the foreskin may be due to inflammation and irritation, such as balanitis. The recurrence of balanitis can be triggered by phimosis, vaginal infections in sexual partners leading to cross-infection during sexual activity, or poor personal hygiene.Recommendation: If the itching is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention at a reputable hospital for follow-up. Pay attention to local hygiene—wash the affected area with clean water daily, avoid scratching to prevent breakdown and infection.
I hope this helps. Wishing you a speedy recovery! The foreskin can recover, but the treatment process is usually slow and prone to recurrence. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and adopt a healthy lifestyle with proper diet during the treatment period. I hope male patients can recover quickly!
