Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable down there for a while. It's both painful and itchy, and my glans seems particularly red and a bit swollen. The odor is especially unpleasant, and there are yellowish secretions on my glans. Is this likely glans inflammation? I'd like to know how to treat glans inflammation to get better.Doctor's answer:
Note that the care of a clean foreskin is actually very simple, just rinse with clean water. Remember, do not use soap or liquid, because the surface of the glans is naturally covered with a layer of mucus and mucous membrane, which protects the glans. However, using soap and liquid will destroy the mucous membrane, and instead, it may lead to urinary tract infections. The condition of balanitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication for maintenance. For male patients, it is important to actively seek professional and regular medical treatment, and treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity. Finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
