Patient's question:
Doctor, my glans has been itchy recently, sometimes it's also swollen and red. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with balanitis. What should I do about this itchy glans?Doctor's answer:
Currently, Western medicine and Western drugs have no ideal treatment for hormone-dependent dermatitis. The main approach involves gradually increasing the dosage of hormone drugs and then combining them with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatments. It is also recommended to use anti-allergic medications until all hormone drugs are completely discontinued. The treatment process typically requires 1-2 years of dietary therapy, avoiding spicy and fried foods. The itching of the glans can be stabilized, but the treatment duration is usually long, and the condition tends to relapse after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications that target the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. It is hoped that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
