Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and it's particularly red and wrinkled. Lately, when I urinate, there's always white discharge coming out, and it's extremely itchy. I went to see a doctor and they said it's glans inflammation. Please ask: How should I treat redness and swelling of the glans?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, consider balanoposthitis. It is recommended to take roxithromycin orally, while also using potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is advised to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed. The condition of redness and swelling of the glans is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to immediately seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
