Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable downstairs for this period, it's both painful and itchy, and it seems like my glans is particularly red and a bit swollen. The smell is especially unpleasant, and there are yellowish secretions on the glans. Is this likely glans inflammation? Please ask: How should one seek medical treatment for a red and swollen glans?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on the symptoms you described, it should be considered as balanitis (inflammation of the glans), which manifests as redness and swelling of the foreskin, burning pain, and relief during urination. There may be purulent discharge dripping from the foreskin orifice. If the foreskin is moved, it can be seen that the inner foreskin and glans are congested, swollen, etc. Your condition is closely related to phimosis (excessive foreskin).Pay attention to maintaining local hygiene, frequently cleaning the foreskin and glans, and keeping the foreskin cavity clean and dry. If you have phimosis or phimosis, circumcision should be performed. If there is any discharge, it is recommended to have a discharge test. Drink more hot water and avoid drinking beer. Redness and swelling of the glans are prone to recurrence, and long-term medication is necessary.
