Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they've started to hurt more, especially when touched, and the other side seems to be swollen as well. I'm very concerned. Could you please advise on the best treatment for a red and swollen glans?Doctor's answer:
In your case, you can use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change your underwear and pants frequently, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. If the recurrence is caused by phimosis, it is best to undergo circumcision. This will prevent the recurrence of balanitis. Maintain a light diet in daily life. Avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods, get adequate rest, and avoid overexertion. Refrain from sexual activity and unprotected sex. Lead a virtuous life. The redness and swelling of the glans can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication must be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
