Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with balanitis. I don't know much about this disease and would like to consult. What are the treatments for itchy glans?Doctor's answer:
It can be treated by scrubbing with potassium permanganate solution and applying erythromycin. Personal hygiene should be paid attention to, avoiding spicy foods and sexual activity. If the condition is severe, it can be treated with amoxicillin for inflammation or azithromycin under the guidance of a doctor. The itching of the glans can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment, proper medication, and avoiding prolonged sitting or riding are essential. Patients should pay attention to personal hygiene and hope that male patients can recover quickly!
