Patient's question:
First, let's start. My glans penis initially appeared 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: Hospitals for treating red and swollen glans penisDoctor's answer:
The common causes of red and swollen glans can be attributed to infectious and non-infectious factors. Unprotected sexual contact can transmit pathogens, leading to balanoposthitis. Non-infectious factors often result from excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, and the accumulation of dirty substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, which can irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, triggering inflammation. It is recommended that you visit a reputable and professional urological hospital for relevant examinations to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment, thereby avoiding interference with your quality of life. In daily life, pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid unprotected sexual activity. Refrain from alcohol and spicy, irritating foods. The condition of red and swollen glans tends to recur, requiring long-term medication for maintenance.
