Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with balanitis. I don't know much about this disease, so I'd like to consult. How should I treat this condition of itchy glans?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is likely that the condition is caused by balanitis. In cases of phimosis or excessive prepuce, such substances can accumulate as smegma, irritating the prepuce and glans to cause balanitis. It is recommended that you undergo a thorough examination to identify the pathogen causing the infection and then actively treat it with medication. If necessary, you may consider undergoing a circumcision procedure. Additionally, pay close attention to local hygiene, change your underwear frequently, reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, and drink more warm water. I wish you a speedy recovery!For patients with balanitis itching, timely treatment can help reduce the recurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should promptly use medication and maintain a regular sexual life while avoiding prolonged sitting. I wish you a speedy recovery!
