Patient's question:
What disease causes male glans itching? Doctor, I have been experiencing itchy glans recently. What causes the itchy glans? I would like to consult an expert about what disease causes male glans itching? What should itchy glans patients pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, if you haven't had unprotected sex, you can generally rule out sexually transmitted diseases. Itching of the glans is usually caused by balanoposthitis. Without treatment, the inflammation can spread to the urethra, causing urethritis, and further spread to the prostate and other reproductive organs, leading to severe issues and significantly impacting male fertility. Therefore, if you notice any discomfort, you should immediately go to the hospital for a thorough examination and timely treatment. If, unfortunately, you are diagnosed with balanoposthitis, there is no need to panic. Going to a reputable urological hospital can still allow for timely treatment. A small portion of cases of glans itching are indeed caused by balanitis.
