Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been experiencing redness and swelling in my glans recently, along with abnormal itching and a bad odor. What should I do about the redness and swelling of the glans? How is the treatment for inflamed glans? What causes the redness and swelling of the glans? What should I do about the redness and swelling of the glans? How is the treatment for inflamed glans?Doctor's answer:
Initial consideration is balanitis, as phimosis leads to incomplete and untimely removal of inner foreskin secretions, allowing pathogens to grow and adapt, resulting in local inflammation. Symptoms may include recurrence, redness, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and odor. Balanitis severely harms men's physical and mental health and has a significant impact on them. Therefore, regardless of the type of balanitis, men need to be vigilant and seek immediate examination at a formal and professional urological hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. The condition of red and swollen glans is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, male patients should actively seek diagnosis at professional and formal hospitals.
