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 condition? Please ask: What should I do after the glans becomes red and swollen?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 choices. For trichomoniasis balanitis, metronidazole is the first-line choice. For balanitis caused by Candida albicans, it is commonly treated with griseofulvin or itraconazole. For patients with red and swollen glans, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated in a timely manner, it can affect health. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
