Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen with a dull ache. Recently, they've started to hurt, especially when touched, and it feels particularly severe. It seems there's also some swelling on the other side. I'm very worried. Please ask: How can the diagnosis of redness and swelling of the foreskin be made?Doctor's answer:
Red bumps on the glans with itching are likely caused by balanitis. You can use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning and apply erythromycin for treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid spicy foods and sexual activity. If the condition is severe, you can take Amoxicillin or Azithromycin under the guidance of a doctor for anti-inflammatory treatment. The condition of the foreskin is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
