Patient's question:
I haven't had sexual intercourse for a month. The reason is that my glans is red, swollen, and painful, and my foreskin has also been painful for a month. I haven't dared to have sexual intercourse because I'm afraid it will infect my wife. Hello, what should I do about the redness, swelling, and pain of the glans and foreskin?Doctor's answer:
A man has again experienced redness, swelling, and pain in the foreskin, which may be caused by some form of balanitis triggered by a fungal infection. It is also possible that it could be due to some sexually transmitted disease. If the symptoms do not improve, it is personally recommended that you first visit a dermatology department in the hospital for a systematic examination. You can also use topical anti-inflammatory and antibacterial medications such as povidone-iodine solution. There are several treatment methods for redness and swelling of the foreskin, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods will also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that the appropriate treatment can be administered.
