Patient's question:
Last night, I already started feeling itchy on my glans, which was unbearable. Today while taking a shower, I noticed a few red spots on my glans, and the smell was also very unpleasant. I'm very strange because I usually take a bath every day and always change my underwear every day. I haven't had any sexual contact with dirty people.Doctor's answer:
Local usability: Use potassium permanganate solution at a 1:5000 dilution to soak the glans penis, twice a day (morning and evening).Balanitis refers to the inflammation of the glans penis. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritants, and other factors.
Balanoposthitis refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and the glans penis. A normal foreskin cavity secretes a type of lipid substance. When the foreskin is too long or there is phimosis, this substance can accumulate as smegma, irritating the foreskin and glans penis, leading to balanoposthitis.
Phimosis caused by drug allergies is a delayed-type allergic reaction and is very common in clinical diagnosis. It typically occurs 24 to 72 hours after taking the medication.
There are several treatment methods for male urogenital diseases, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the treatment approaches also differ. Therefore, it is essential for patients to seek a prompt diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
