Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been experiencing redness and swelling on my glans recently, along with abnormal itching and a bad odor. What should I do about the redness and swelling of the glans? Then, let's diagnose the illness.Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms may be considered as possible balanoposthitis. It is recommended to take metronidazole orally, apply fluconazole ointment externally, and simultaneously use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is advised to frequently clean the foreskin and glans, maintaining cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or paraphimosis, circumcision should be performed. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. For patients with red and swollen glans, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If not treated promptly, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
