Patient's question:
Recently, the head of my penis has been itchy, but there's nothing visible when I look closely. I'm usually very clean. What could be causing the itching?Doctor's answer:
The itching of the glans primarily stems from balanitis, which is usually caused by bacterial infection, humid climate, and poor personal hygiene. These factors can lead to the transmission of balanitis, resulting in glans itching. In addition to occurring occasionally on its own, glans itching is often accompanied by other symptoms such as red spots on the glans, discoloration of the glans, and a foul odor. It is recommended to consult a urology department for examination to confirm the diagnosis, which will aid in treatment. The diet should be light and avoid foods. Regularly clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. In terms of diet, opt for a light meal and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits.
