Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable down there for a while, it's both painful and itchy, and my glans seems particularly red and a bit swollen. The odor is especially unpleasant, and there are yellowish secretions on my glans. Is this likely glans inflammation? I'd like to ask: What causes the redness and swelling of the glans?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, the recurrence of inflammation around the genital area leading to edema may be related to poor personal hygiene, and there are many ways to adjust this online. My advice is that you can pay attention to personal hygiene appropriately, use warm water for rinsing, or use anti-inflammatory drugs like cephalexin to prevent unhygienic practices. For patients with red and swollen glans, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
