Patient's question:
During this time, I've been feeling very uncomfortable downstairs, 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 my glans. Is this likely glans inflammation? I would like to ask: What methods can be used to treat glans inflammation?Doctor's answer:
This is often due to poor personal hygiene or excessive foreskin, where secretions from the inner foreskin cannot be cleared promptly and thoroughly, allowing pathogens to grow and adapt, leading to local inflammation. Potassium permanganate solution can be used for cleaning, and anti-inflammatory medications can be taken orally. It is important to maintain good personal hygiene, change underwear and pants frequently, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of outbreaks. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and maintain a regular sexual life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
