Patient's question:
What might happen, later I found out that it was an illness. How should I treat the redness and swelling of the glans if discovered?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition may be balanoposthitis, which can be caused by sexual activity and excessive foreskin. It can be transmitted by Candida, trichomonas, chlamydia, mycoplasma, fungi, or other bacteria. Alternatively, due to excessive foreskin and insufficient hygiene, smegma (the buildup of unclean material between the foreskin and glans) may accumulate, irritating the local foreskin and mucosa and causing inflammation again.It is recommended to go to the urology department of a hospital for a clear diagnosis, which will facilitate timely and appropriate treatment. The condition of redness and swelling of the glans is quite serious, and patients are advised to seek treatment immediately. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for targeted treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to self-care, including a proper diet, to avoid worsening the condition.
The above answer is hoped to help you. Thank you.
