Patient's question:
These past few days, I've been constantly feeling itchy on my glans, with a bad odor, and shedding of smegma. I've also been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, and a feeling of incomplete urination. I drink a lot of water. I'd like to ask, what could be causing this? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Itching on the glans, unusual odor, and smegma suggest a high possibility of balanitis. Frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination are more likely caused by prostatitis or urinary tract infection. It is recommended that you undergo a urinalysis and a detailed ultrasound examination of the urinary system to confirm the diagnosis. You can consider getting circumcised, pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and abstain from smoking and alcohol. Do not engage in unsafe sexual practices.Actually, having a urological condition is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as treatment is sought early, the chances of controlling the condition and recovery are very high.
