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 better?Doctor's answer:
Excess foreskin can lead to balanitis, prostatitis, trigger increased sensitivity of the glans, and result in premature ejaculation and difficulty with ejaculation. If there is itching or ulcers, it may be a fungal infection. Local antiseptic treatment can be applied, maintain good hygiene in the perineal area, and use topical clotrimazole cream. If symptoms do not improve, seek medical attention promptly. For patients with glans itching, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek appropriate treatment promptly and maintain regular sexual activity while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
