Patient's question:
I've been experiencing itchy sensations on my glans these days, and I always want to scratch it with my hands. The doctor said this is glans inflammation, and that there are several types of glans inflammation. I'd like to learn more about the different types of glans inflammation from my medical friends. How many types of glans inflammation are there?Doctor's answer:
The inflammation of the glans is primarily related to an individual's immunity and digestive issues. It is usually caused by bacterial, fungal, or mycoplasma inflammation. First, you can use a mild saltwater solution to rinse the genital area and pay attention to personal hygiene. Apply some erythromycin ointment and take symptomatic medication orally. This is for treating bacterial inflammation, which is the most common type of glans inflammation. You can also perform a secretion test to confirm the cause before treatment.
