Patient's question:
What is the situation with a itchy glans?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on your description, it is likely that you may have balanitis. This is often caused by poor personal hygiene or phimosis, where the inner foreskin secretions cannot be cleaned promptly and thoroughly, allowing pathogens to grow and adapt in the area, leading to local inflammation. You can use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning and take oral anti-inflammatory medications. It is important to maintain good personal hygiene, change underwear and pants frequently, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Balanitis itching can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor during treatment, use medications appropriately, and adopt a healthy lifestyle with proper diet. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
