Patient's question:
I am 43 years old. I recently noticed that my glans has inflammation, and it also hurts and itches. I would like to ask what kind of medicine should be taken for glans inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Erythema of the glans is often a precursor to balanoposthitis. It may be caused by excess foreskin leading to smegma accumulation. Erythema of the glans is often a precursor to balanoposthitis. The primary cause of balanitis is usually due to excessive foreskin, where lipid secretions in the foreskin cavity can accumulate as smegma, irritating the foreskin and glans to cause balanitis. This condition can be triggered by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. Drug allergies causing balanitis are a delayed-type allergic reaction and are quite common in clinical diagnosis. Pay attention to personal hygiene, and avoid indiscriminate sexual activity. If you have excessive foreskin, it is recommended to visit a formal urological hospital for circumcision. Bathe frequently and change underwear often.
