Patient's question:
Continuous high fever has already occurred, and I am particularly afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed that my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. Please ask: what should I do if the glans is swollen and red?Doctor's answer:
A 30-year-old young man with redness and dampness of the glans may be caused by phimosis or poor hygiene, leading to balanitis. It is recommended to maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia and use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for external washing. If phimosis is present, circumcision surgery can be performed after the redness and swelling subside. The redness and swelling of the glans can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications appropriately during treatment. Additionally, it is advised to adopt a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during the treatment period. We hope the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
