Patient's question:
No pain when urinating, but the urethral opening and glans sometimes itch, and there is obvious discomfort at the tip of the glans. Recently, I've been experiencing soreness in the hip and pelvic area. The inner thigh is also sore, and occasionally I have lower back pain. What could be causing the occasional itching and pain at the urethral opening and glans?Doctor's answer:
Now there are symptoms of redness and itching on the glans, which is abnormal. It could be caused by balanitis. Use potassium permanganate for local cleaning in a timely manner, while taking cephalosporin antibiotics for treatment. Balanitis may be related to poor hygiene or phimosis. Go to the hospital's surgical department for an examination. After a thorough examination, if phimosis is present, the inflammation can be suppressed first, and then a circumcision can be performed for treatment. For patients with glans itching, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect health.
