Patient's question:
I'm only 18 years old this year, and I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I noticed some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be like balanitis. Is it serious? Will there be any problems? Please ask: How to care for red and swollen glans?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is the inflammation of the glans. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. It is recommended to take oral anti-inflammatory medication and use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for local washing. 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 diagnosis from professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on the examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
