Patient's question:
I didn't know about this situation, and I'm not feeling well either. Could you please tell me what causes the redness and swelling of the glans?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it should be the symptoms of balanitis. The basic principles of treatment are anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. Generally, it involves both internal and external treatment. For acute superficial balanitis and annular purulent balanitis, erythromycin and tetracycline are the first-line treatments. For trichomoniasis balanitis, metronidazole is the preferred treatment. For balanitis caused by Candida albicans, it is common to use griseofulvin or itraconazole. For patients with red and swollen glans, the daily treatment mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment. The patient can take some oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, and pay attention to regular rest and avoid alcohol. We hope that patients with red and swollen glans can recover quickly! Thank you!
