Doctor's answer:

Considering there's an 80-90% chance it's urethritis or a urinary tract infection, mainly caused by bacterial inflammation affecting transmission, leading to pain and swelling. It's advisable to get an examination promptly, test a urine sample for diagnosis, take some anti-inflammatory medication, or undergo intravenous fluid treatment for anti-inflammatory purposes. You can also go to the urology department of a hospital for follow-up, see a doctor, and receive timely, standardized, and appropriate treatment while paying attention to dietary restrictions. The redness and swelling of the glans can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to symptoms, and patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
