Patient's question:
I noticed that my glans seems to have some blisters, red and swollen. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was balanitis. I didn't do much, yet how did I get this condition? Please ask: Where are the good hospitals for treating red and swollen glans?Doctor's answer:
The redness and swelling of the glans may be caused by balanitis, which is related to phimosis, poor hygiene, or local moisture. Treatment suggestions include applying potassium permanganate solution externally, taking oral roxithromycin and levofloxacin. It is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods as much as possible, quit smoking and alcohol, maintain good personal hygiene, and keep the area clean at all times. If phimosis is present, circumcision may be necessary to alleviate the symptoms. However, the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications appropriately during treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a balanced diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover quickly.
