Patient's question:
A few days ago, I kept experiencing pain in my glans, so I went to the hospital and consulted a doctor who said it was glans inflammation. But I didn't take it seriously, thinking it wasn't a big deal. It's been a year now, and my good friend urged me to take it seriously. What happens if glans inflammation is left untreated for a long time?Doctor's answer:
Inflammation of the glans penis, if left untreated for a long time, can easily lead to the spread of ulcers and the transmission of diseases, especially when sexual activity resumes, as the likelihood of transmission to sexual partners is relatively high. From a clinical diagnostic perspective, early treatment is more effective in achieving a complete recovery. Generally, glans inflammation is caused by Staphylococcus aureus, so potassium permanganate bathing and scrubbing, along with the external use of erythromycin ointment, are recommended. In addition to standard treatment for glans inflammation, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a balanced diet and keeping a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also choose a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
