Is balanitis serious?

Patient's question:

Recently, this person has been feeling uncomfortable physically, especially in the lower body, with the glans constantly itchy. Sometimes, when this person sits down to go off work, they can't help but want to scratch there through their pants. Then, they also dare not be too bold. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, it was said that they had developed glans inflammation. I am now feeling very sad. Is glans inflammation serious?

Doctor's answer:

It might be caused by balanitis. It is recommended to use some anti-inflammatory solutions to externally wash the affected area twice a day, with each session lasting 20 minutes. Pay attention to local hygiene and clean the glans and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, seek timely treatment, and consider circumcision if necessary. It is very important to clean the foreskin regularly. If you experience any discomfort, please come to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. In addition to active treatment, patients with balanitis should maintain a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients. I hope the above information can assist you.
