Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Why is my glans itchy?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be caused by an infection due to excessive foreskin or unclean sexual activity. Clinically, infectious balanoposthitis is more common. Infectious cases are often caused by infections with Candida albicans, Trichomonas vaginalis, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria through unprotected sex. Non-infectious factors are usually due to excessive foreskin, poor hygiene, or the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, which can irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, leading to inflammation. It is best to seek medical diagnosis at a hospital. If the foreskin is excessively long, circumcision is recommended.
