Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been experiencing redness and swelling on my glans recently, along with abnormal itching and a bad odor. What should I do about the redness and swelling of the glans? How is the treatment for inflamed glans? What causes the redness and swelling of the glans? What should I do about the redness and swelling of the glans? How is the treatment for inflamed glans?Doctor's answer:
Initial consideration is balanitis, as phimosis leads to incomplete and untimely removal of inner foreskin secretions, allowing pathogens to grow and adapt in this area, resulting in local inflammation. Recurrence may manifest as redness, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a bad odor. Balanitis poses a serious threat to men's physical and mental health, and has a significant impact on them. Therefore, regardless of the type of balanitis, men need to be highly vigilant and seek immediate examination at a formal and professional urological hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. The condition of redness and swelling of the glans is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, male patients should actively seek diagnosis at professional and formal hospitals.
