Patient's question:
Recently, my glans has been a bit itchy, but upon closer inspection, there's nothing growing on the glans. What could this be? It keeps appearing white, and I don't know the reason, causing the itching of the glans. What are the causes of glans itching?Doctor's answer:
The itching of the glans is primarily considered to be caused by balanitis, which is usually due to bacterial infection, humid climate, and poor personal hygiene. This can lead to the transmission of balanitis, resulting in glans itching. In addition to occurring occasionally on its own, glans itching is often accompanied by other symptoms such as red spots on the glans, discoloration of the glans, and a bad odor. It is recommended to consult a urology department for examination to confirm the diagnosis, which will aid in treatment. The diet should be based on light foods, avoiding foods, and regularly cleaning the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume light foods and plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits.
