Patient's question:
Since last month, I've been experiencing persistent and intense itching on my glans, along with white discharge and a foul odor from the foreskin and glans. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
As per the symptoms and age, it seems to be similar to the condition of balanitis or balanoposthitis, which is often related to poor hygiene of the genital area. It is recommended to pay attention to cleanliness during sexual activity. You can try washing the genital area with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution in the morning and evening, and then apply ointment. The condition of balanitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical treatment promptly. Based on the examination results, treatment should be considered. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, and maintain good personal hygiene.
