Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came home at night, I noticed a red ring on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. At the time, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. Please ask: What are the treatment methods for patients with red and swollen glans?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Based on the situation you described, it may be balanitis. This is caused by long-term lack of hygiene and the transmission of inflammation, and should be treated actively. It is recommended to frequently retract the foreskin and clean it, change underwear often, and maintain local cleanliness and dryness. Oral levofloxacin tablets can be used for treatment. For patients with red and swollen glans, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly according to symptoms and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
