Patient's question:
I've been having some stomach issues and slightly yellow urine recently. It might be due to the heat in summer, and my penis foreskin has been a bit itchy. I've started to ignore it, but it's getting worse. I don't know what's going on, and I'd like to ask what could be causing the foreskin itching?Doctor's answer:
Initial diagnosis suggests balanoposthitis. Oral antibiotics should be taken, while simultaneously using potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is recommended to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed. For patients with severe foreskin itching, it is advised to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition.
