Patient's question:
I feel very uncomfortable, it's both painful and itchy, and my glans seems particularly red and a bit swollen. The smell is especially unpleasant, and there are yellowish secretions on my glans. Is this glans inflammation? Please ask: How to treat red and swollen glans?Doctor's answer:
There are red rashes on the glans, which are generally considered to be eczema, papules, balanitis, or genital warts. Among these, inflammation caused by excessive foreskin or poor hygiene is relatively common. If there is a history of unsafe sex, genital warts should be considered. Additionally, if it is balanitis, it is important to determine the specific pathogen causing the inflammation to treat it accordingly. For example, if the balanitis is caused by a fungal infection, it cannot be treated simply with conventional anti-inflammatory medications.It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for standardized examinations to identify the specific condition and then decide on the appropriate treatment method. For patients with red and swollen glans, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
