The common causes of red and swollen glans can be due to infectious and non-infectious factors. Unhygienic masturbation and infection with bacteria can both lead to balanoposthitis. Non-infectious factors are often related to excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, and the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, which can affect the local foreskin and mucosa, leading to recurrent inflammation. It is recommended that you visit a formal and professional urological hospital for relevant examinations to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment, avoiding any impact on your quality of life. In daily life, pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid unsafe sexual practices. Refrain from alcohol and spicy, irritating foods. For patients with severe red and swollen glans, it is advised to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
