Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that blisters of varying sizes have also appeared, and they are getting more and more. This situation doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: How to relieve glans redness and swellingDoctor's answer:
Hello: Based on the symptoms you described, it should be considered as balanitis (inflammation of the glans). Balanitis manifests as redness and swelling of the foreskin, burning pain, relief during urination, and may have purulent discharge dripping from the foreskin orifice. If the foreskin is moved, it can be seen that the inner foreskin and glans are congested, swollen, etc. Your condition is closely related to phimosis (excessive foreskin).It is recommended to locally apply a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for cleaning, followed by applying Baidu or Aoluo ointment externally. Pay attention to maintaining local hygiene, frequently cleaning the foreskin and glans, and keeping the foreskin cavity clean and dry. If you have phimosis or phimosis, circumcision should be considered. If there is any discharge, it is best to have a discharge test. Drinking more hot water and avoiding beer can help alleviate the redness and swelling of the glans.
