Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that blisters have also appeared on it, varying in size and increasing in number. This situation doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: Which hospital is better for treating red and swollen glans?Doctor's answer:
Considering there's an 80-90% chance it's urethritis or a urinary tract infection, primarily caused by bacterial inflammation and infection leading to pain and swelling. It's advisable to get an immediate check-up, have a urine test for diagnosis, take some anti-inflammatory medication, or undergo intravenous fluid treatment for anti-inflammatory therapy. You can also go to the urology department of the hospital for a follow-up visit, see a doctor, and receive timely, standardized, and appropriate treatment while paying attention to dietary restrictions. The redness and swelling of the glans can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it's prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, it's crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
