Patient's question:
I don't know what the situation would be. Later, I found out that it was because of an illness. Please ask: What could be the reasons for treating the redness and swelling of the glans penis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is considered to be balanoposthitis. The main reason is that the male patient has excessive foreskin, and the unclean substances between the foreskin and the glans, known as smegma, accumulate, stimulating the local foreskin and mucosa to cause inflammation again, which is balanoposthitis. Additionally, it cannot be ruled out that it may be caused by sexual activity. This situation is common when the female partner has vaginal inflammation, leading to cross-infection during sexual activity, which results in the male patient developing balanoposthitis. If the glans becomes red and swollen with severe symptoms, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to recurrent redness and swelling of the glans. Additionally, patients should maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to the above questions can help everyone. Thank you.
