Patient's question:
I felt a bit itchy on my glans during the first half of this year. Our company is doing well, and work has been very busy, so I just washed it with clean water every day and haven't had time to see a doctor. Recently, the itching has become severe, and I even scratched it open. Yesterday, the doctor said it was trichomoniasis of the glans. How is trichomoniasis of the glans treated?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis-induced balanitis can cause itching to reappear on the glans, along with a bad odor, and may also lead to an increase in secretions. It is recommended that you can use potassium permanganate solution to clean the external genital area, while also using topical antibiotic creams in conjunction. Additionally, oral broad-spectrum antibiotics can be taken, or you can use some traditional Chinese herbal medicines such as Ku Shen (Sophora flavescens), She Chuang Zi (Clematis chinensis), and Di Fu Zi (Bidens fruticosa) to boil water and clean the external genital area.
