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 doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: How should I treat redness and swelling of the glans penis for the best results?Doctor's answer:
The redness and swelling of the glans may be caused by balanitis, which is related to phimosis, poor hygiene, or local dampness. Treatment suggestions include applying potassium permanganate solution externally, taking oral roxithromycin and levofloxacin. It is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol, maintain good personal hygiene, and keep the area clean. If phimosis is present, circumcision may be necessary to alleviate the symptoms. However, the treatment process is usually lengthy, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, appropriate medication, and a light diet are essential. Additionally, patients should avoid foods, smoking, and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
