Which hospital should I go to?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the condition, the itching of the glans may be a sign of balanitis, which refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and the glans. A lipid substance normally secreted in the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate as smegma in cases of phimosis or excessive foreskin, irritating the foreskin and glans, leading to balanitis. It is recommended that patients visit a professional urological hospital for further examination and follow-up treatment based on the cause. Patients should actively undergo anti-inflammatory treatment, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and enhance the intake of components such as vitamin C to improve the body's anti-inflammatory ability. It is advisable to avoid foods like pig trotters, fish soup, and mutton, as they may increase secretions in the inflamed area.
