Patient's question:
Doctor, my glans has been itchy recently, sometimes it's also swollen and red. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with balanitis. What are the standard treatments for a swollen and red glans?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description and your condition, it appears you are a patient who has undergone a circumcision and are currently experiencing redness and swelling of the glans, as well as potential issues such as balanitis or even swelling of the foreskin. From your situation, I highly recommend considering red light therapy to treat your condition, as it has shown good results. The redness and swelling of the glans can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. I hope the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
