Patient's question:
Doctor, my glans has been itchy recently, sometimes it's also swollen. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with balanitis. How should I treat the itching of the glans?Doctor's answer:
Your current symptoms are typical signs of balanitis. If you confirm that the balanitis is caused by a fungal infection, you need to follow your doctor's guidance to implement antifungal treatment. Fungal treatment is effective quickly, but the recurrence rate is high. Balanitis itching can be relieved, but the treatment cycle is generally long, and it is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with your doctor during treatment, use medication appropriately, and also maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
