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