Patient's question:
Doctor, I've 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? Then, let's diagnose the illness.Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms may be considered as balanoposthitis. It is recommended to take metronidazole orally, apply fluconazole ointment externally, and simultaneously use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is advised to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. The condition of redness and swelling of the glans tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, refrain from sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
