Itching around the glans

The male reproductive organ is very important to men. The glans penis is an important part of the male reproductive organ. It is a triangular part at the front of the reproductive organ. If men do not pay attention to the hygiene of their private parts, they may be infected by some bacteria, because the private parts are often moist, which is very conducive to the growth of bacteria. The following will show you why the edge of the male glans penis is itchy.

Small red spots on the glans are typical symptoms of balanitis, which refers to inflammation of the inner plate of the foreskin and the glans penis. A lipid substance secreted in the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate into smegma to irritate the foreskin and glans penis and cause balanitis when the foreskin is too long or the foreskin is phimosis. The basic principle of Western medicine treatment is anti-inflammatory and sterilization. Generally, both internal and external treatments are used. Erythromycin and tetracycline are the first choice for the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and annular effusive balanitis. Methionine is the first choice for the treatment of trichomonal balanitis. Trichostatin or itraconazole is often used to treat balanitis caused by Candida albicans.

The edge of the glans penis sometimes itches, and the possibility of glansitis cannot be ruled out, but the semen contains blood, so it depends on whether it is caused by prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis. For the above symptoms, you can take anti-inflammatory drugs such as levofloxacin or amoxicillin to see if the symptoms can be relieved. If they cannot be relieved, it is best to see a medical institution for examination and treatment.

Considering that it is glans inflammation, this may be related to the foreskin being too long. It is recommended that you open the part and soak it in warm water with potassium permanganate, then use erythromycin ointment, and perform circumcision after the inflammation is controlled.

Condition Analysis:

From the description, it seems to be four days after circumcision. Generally speaking, the wound of foreskin regeneration and repair will heal in about a week. Whether to continue taking antibiotics four days after surgery depends on the suture site and the condition of the wound. If there is no discomfort and inflammatory discharge from the wound, antibiotics are not necessary. If there is inflammatory discharge from the wound or the wound is not healing well, antibiotics can be taken and the dressings can be changed regularly.

Guidance:

Circumcision for prepuce is a common minor male surgery. There are no side effects if the postoperative care is good. Dorsal penile neurectomy for glans sensitivity is performed on the premise of ensuring the normal sexual function of men.

If you have foreskin that is too long, you should keep the area clean and dry, and go for examination and treatment as soon as possible. If you have sensitive glans penis, it is recommended to perform dorsal penile neurectomy at the same time as circumcision.
