Patient's question:
For a while now, I've noticed that my glans is particularly dry, and it seems to have some flaky stuff falling off, like dandruff. I also feel itchy and painful. Is this balanitis? How can I determine if I have red and swollen glans?Doctor's answer:
For your question, the redness and swelling of the glans are caused by the expansion and fibrosis of blood vessels inside the glans, leading to redness and swelling. It can be diagnosed by a thorough examination by a surgeon. In most cases, it is caused by balanitis due to unclean sexual intercourse. It is necessary to use Jieryin for cleaning, then apply Jibizhi and intravenous levofloxacin for anti-inflammatory treatment, which will improve the condition of the glans redness and swelling. The condition of glans redness and swelling is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is necessary to seek medical treatment immediately at a professional and regular hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Also, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, and maintaining personal hygiene. Finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
