Patient's question:
I recently don't know why I feel extremely uncomfortable downstairs, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Please advise what to do if the base of my glans starts itching and has a foul odor.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be balanitis, which refers to the inflammation of the glans mucosa. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. Balanoposthitis refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and the glans. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is related to damp-heat accumulation in the lower body and liver channel damp-heat. It can be treated with Longdan Xiegan Decoction or with a decoction of kushen for fumigation and washing. I believe most people are aware that phimosis and paraphimosis cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
