Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy on the foreskin. A little part of the foreskin is left uninterfered, and no surgery has been performed to remove it.Doctor's answer:
Itching of the foreskin is often caused by balanitis induced by excessive foreskin, which easily leads to the accumulation of smegma. Over time, this can result in balanoposthitis. It is recommended to pay attention to cleaning the penis regularly, especially the smegma inside the foreskin. If conditions permit, it is best to have the foreskin removed surgically, which will not interfere with the normal development of the penis after the surgery. The harm caused by foreskin itching to patients is very significant. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care. Eating more fruits and vegetables, avoiding irritating foods, and hoping that patients with foreskin itching can receive professional treatment.
