Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and they are particularly red and rough. Lately, when I urinate, there is always a white discharge coming out, and it is extremely itchy. I went to see a doctor and was told it is glans inflammation. Please ask: How should I properly manage the itching of the glans?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it cannot be ruled out that the discomfort is caused by balanitis. The common causes of this condition include: infectious ones, often resulting from unsafe sexual contact, which can transmit Candida albicans, Trichomonas vaginalis, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria. Other factors such as phimosis, poor local hygiene, sexual activity, and trauma can also lead to this condition. It is recommended that you actively visit the department of reproductive infections in the hospital for a follow-up examination and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to local hygiene, drink more water, and avoid unsafe sexual contact. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely and symptomatic treatment, and maintain a regular sexual life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
