What to do if the foreskin of the glans penis is red and itchy

I don't know if everyone knows about the glans penis. Some friends joke that it is the head of a tortoise. Yes, the word glans penis actually comes from this. The front half of the male reproductive organ does look like the head of a tortoise, so it is called the glans penis. However, the glans penis here does not refer to the head of a tortoise. In our daily lives, if men do not pay attention to hygiene, sometimes the glans penis foreskin will become red and itchy. So, what should we do when the glans penis foreskin becomes red and itchy? Let's take a look.

The basic principle of Western medicine treatment is to reduce inflammation and kill bacteria. 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. Miedil is the first choice for the treatment of trichomonal balanitis. Trichostatin or itraconazole is often used for the treatment of balanitis caused by Candida albicans.

Symptoms of irritation caused by the foreskin and glans are generally caused by the long-term accumulation of secretions from the glans without timely cleaning. Pay attention to hygiene, change underwear frequently, wash frequently, or scrub with physiological saline.

If balanitis is not treated, it will not heal itself. In addition, patients with balanitis will feel local flushing, burning and itching in the glans at the beginning of the disease. If not treated in time, erosion and erythema of the glans may also occur. If balanitis is not treated for a long time, it will also cause some other complications, such as prostatitis, orchitis, urethritis and other reproductive system infections. First, clarify whether your balanitis is caused by bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma or chlamydia, find out the cause, and treat it accordingly.
