Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and it's very red and wrinkled. Lately, when I urinate, there's always white discharge coming out, and it's itchy. I went to see a doctor and they said it's balanitis. Please ask: How can I treat red and swollen glans effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello; According to your condition, this may be due to excessive prepuce of the glans, recurring accumulation of smegma in the glans area, and accompanied by balanitis. In daily life, avoid mental stress and get adequate rest. It is also recommended to maintain hygiene in the perineal area, and seek medical attention for any discomfort to rule out inflammation. For patients with red and swollen glans, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive symptomatic treatment promptly and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
