Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and they are particularly red and scaly. Lately, when I urinate, there is always a white discharge coming out, and it is itchy. I went to see a doctor and was told it is glans inflammation. Please ask: How should I treat glans itching?Doctor's answer:
Such symptoms are often considered to be balanitis. Balanitis has multiple types, such as acute superficial balanitis, candidal balanitis, and trichomoniasis balanitis, all of which can present with redness and swelling. It is best to promptly visit a regular hospital to first thoroughly examine the cause. If the cause is not clear, how can treatment proceed? Identifying the cause and treating accordingly, while actively cooperating with treatment in daily life, will lead to a quick recovery.Balanitis itching can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medications appropriately, and maintain a light diet, avoiding foods (irritating foods), smoking, and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
