Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have balanitis, and I would like to consult about how to treat and recover quickly from itchy glans.Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be balanoposthitis, which can be caused by sexual activity and phimosis. Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria can all lead to it. Alternatively, due to phimosis and insufficient hygiene, smegma (the buildup of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans) may accumulate, irritating the local foreskin and mucosa and causing inflammation again. It is recommended to visit the infectious disease department for a definitive diagnosis, which will facilitate timely and appropriate treatment. Wishing you good health.
