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: How should red and swollen glans be treated?Doctor's answer:
The redness and swelling of the glans may be due to balanitis. Apply a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution locally and maintain dryness at all times. Under the guidance of a doctor, take antibiotics for treatment. Pay attention to genital hygiene, maintain dryness, bathe frequently, and change underwear often. The condition of redness and swelling of the glans tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek professional and regular medical treatment and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
