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. What causes the itch on the head of the penis?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it might be balanitis, which refers to inflammation of the glans mucosa. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. Balanoposthitis refers to inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is related to damp-heat accumulation in the lower body and damp-heat in the liver channel. It can be treated with Longdan Xiegan Decoction or by soaking in a decoction of bitter melon. I believe most people are aware of the significant harm that phimosis and paraphimosis can cause to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues and maintain a light diet, avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
