Patient's question:
What are the reasons for a red and itchy glans?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is considered to 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 glans. 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, leading to balanoposthitis.Advice: Pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination to determine the condition and receive timely treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
