Patient's question:
My husband has recently been experiencing discomfort in his lower body and was diagnosed with an illness after a hospital examination. Seeing him in pain frequently makes me very worried. Could you please ask the doctor how to best treat redness and swelling of the glans penis?Doctor's answer:
A 30-year-old young man with red and swollen glans, possibly caused by excessive foreskin and poor hygiene, leading to balanoposthitis. It is recommended to maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia and use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for external washing. If the foreskin is excessively long, circumcision surgery can be performed after the redness and swelling subside. The condition of red and swollen glans is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
