Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came home at night, I noticed a red ring had appeared on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. At the time, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. Please ask: How is it best to treat red and swollen glans?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, it is necessary to consider balanoposthitis and take oral roxithromycin. At the same time, it is recommended to use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is advisable 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 seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
