Patient's question:
Because of work requirements, I often go in and out of entertainment venues with clients. Although I love my wife very much, it's unavoidable to act the part for business purposes. Last week, after hanging out with a client at a KTV, I noticed some pain when I went to urinate. Additionally, how can I treat redness and swelling of the glans and foreskin?Doctor's answer:
The glans is swollen, which is usually a recurrence of balanitis. This condition is generally caused by a fungal infection. It is important to maintain good hygiene of the genital area at all times, and to take proper safety measures during sexual activity to prevent unsafe sex. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a pathogen test to identify the source of the infection and take targeted medication. During treatment, a diet based on light and easily digestible foods should be followed, and spicy, extremely cold, or irritating foods should be avoided. Active physical exercise should also be implemented. For patients with severe glans swelling, it is advised to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only.
