Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable down there for this period, it's both painful and itchy, and it seems like my glans is particularly red and a bit swollen. The odor is especially unpleasant, and there's also yellowish discharge from my glans. Is this likely glans inflammation? I'd like to ask: What are the precautions to take when treating redness and swelling of the glans?Doctor's answer:
I suspect it is balanitis. The recurrence of balanitis can be caused by the transmission of pathogens during sexual activity and excessive foreskin. It is recommended that you and your sexual partner undergo a thorough examination to identify the specific cause and seek early treatment. Additionally, it is advised to reduce sexual activity or completely avoid it until the condition improves to prevent affecting the treatment outcomes for both parties. Wishing you good health. The condition of redness and swelling of the glans is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Furthermore, it is important to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, wishing all patients a speedy recovery.
