Patient's question:
What should I do about itchy glans with a bad odor? This situation is making me feel extremely embarrassed. It's affecting my sex life, and even daily baths haven't helped. Over the past few days, I've been resting and doing nothing but washing it with water, but it still hasn't improved. What kind of medicine would be best for this? I really don't want to keep living like this.Doctor's answer:
Itching and odor in the glans, possibly a recurrence of balanitis. Balanitis has several types, such as acute superficial balanitis, circinate balanitis, trichomoniasis balanitis, and candidal balanitis. During the current flare-up, when the condition is severe, simple cleaning is not sufficient. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a secretion test and receive targeted treatment based on the results. During treatment, it is still necessary to avoid sexual activity.
