Patient's question:
These past few days, my glans has been particularly uncomfortable. Sometimes it's both painful and itchy, and it hurts a lot. I know this is glans inflammation, so I plan to go to the hospital to get some medication. But now hospitals have separate departments, and I don't know which department to see. Is glans inflammation a urology department?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is a common urological disease. Phimosis occurs when the glans penis experiences inflammation, leading to redness, swelling, pain, and itching. In severe cases, there may be an increase in secretions, and in the most severe cases, it can cause cross-infection in women during sexual activity. For the treatment of phimosis, patients should visit a local urology department for diagnosis. Treatment can involve topical medications or oral medications, with topical treatments often based on anti-inflammatory creams. The condition of phimosis is quite serious, and patients are advised to seek timely treatment and follow the doctor's recommendations for symptomatic treatment. Additionally, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
