Does balanitis itch?

Balanitis can cause itching of the glans penis, along with symptoms such as pain, redness, swelling, and bleeding.

Balanitis is a common disease of the glans. It is mostly related to not paying attention to personal hygiene. If the glans is not cleaned regularly, bacteria may breed on the glans, leading to balanitis, which is mainly characterized by itching, rash, and pain on the glans. Some balanitis is also related to the overlong foreskin. The overlong foreskin wraps the glans, which can easily cause bacteria to breed on the glans, thus causing balanitis.

When patients have the above symptoms, they should go to the hospital in time to determine whether it is balanitis, and then use anti-inflammatory ointments under the guidance of a doctor, such as erythromycin ointment, desonide cream, compound flumetasone ointment, etc. If it is related to the foreskin, you need to go to the hospital for circumcision treatment.
