Patient's question:
Son is 18 years old this year. He quietly told me that his glans is red and swollen, and it hurts a lot. I am very anxious. My son is too afraid to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. I suspect it is related to his diet and sleep schedule. He has long disliked eating junk food, except for playing games late at night. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
In the case of redness and swelling of the glans, it is highly likely to be balanitis. It is best to go to a relatively formal hospital in your area for a detailed and thorough examination and diagnosis. Especially at your age, during the period of growth and development, any genital disease should be taken seriously to avoid missing the best treatment opportunity, which may affect the normal growth and development of the genital organs. In the near future, try to get more rest and avoid eating any junk food to ensure the hygiene of the genital organs. For patients, if the condition of redness and swelling of the glans is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of redness and swelling of the glans. In addition, patients also need to maintain a pleasant mood to avoid worsening the condition.
