Patient's question:
I noticed that my glans seems to have some blisters, red and swollen. The hospital examination said it was balanitis. I didn't do much, but how did I get this disease? Please ask: what should I do after getting red and swollen glans?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it should be the symptoms of balanitis. The basic principles of treatment are anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. Generally, it involves both internal and external treatment. For the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and annular purulent balanitis, erythromycin and tetracycline are the first-line medications. For trichomoniasis balanitis, a lotion is the preferred treatment. For balanitis caused by Candida albicans, it is commonly treated with griseofulvin or itraconazole. The redness and swelling of the glans can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications that match the symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
