How should patients with a itchy glans be treated?

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. How should patients with itchy glans be treated?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, consider taking oral roxithromycin for balanoposthitis, while also using potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is recommended to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain a clean and dry foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed. For patients with glans itching, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
