Patient's question:
For a while now, I've noticed that my glans is particularly dry, and it seems to be shedding something like dandruff. I also feel itchy and painful. Is this glans inflammation? Please ask: What should patients with itchy glans eat?Doctor's answer:
Friend, if you haven't had unprotected sex, you can generally rule out sexually transmitted diseases. Itching of the glans is usually caused by balanoposthitis. Without treatment, the inflammation can spread to the urethra, causing urethritis, and further spread to the prostate and other reproductive organs, leading to severe complications and significant interference with male fertility. Therefore, if you notice any discomfort, you should immediately go to the hospital for a thorough examination and timely treatment. If, unfortunately, you are diagnosed with balanoposthitis, there is no need to panic. Going to a formal urological hospital can still lead to timely recovery. A large portion of the itching of the glans is caused by balanitis. Men who suffer from balanitis.
