Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been experiencing redness and swelling in my glans recently, along with abnormal itching and a bad odor. How can I determine the cause of the redness and swelling of the glans?Doctor's answer:
For your question, the redness and swelling of the glans are caused by the expansion and fibrosis of blood vessels inside the glans, leading to redness and swelling. It can be diagnosed by a thorough examination by a surgeon. In most cases, it is caused by balanitis triggered by unsafe sex. It requires using Jieryin for cleaning, followed by treatment with Bifuzhixing and levofloxacin intravenous infusion for anti-inflammatory purposes, which will improve the condition. The redness and swelling of the glans tend to recur, so long-term medication is necessary. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and regular hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
