What are the reasons for the redness and swelling of the glans in daily life?

Patient's question:

The glans penis and urethral meatus are swollen, but there is no pain, occasionally itchy. Just noticed it today, what else could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

The glans penis and urethral meatus are swollen, without pain but occasionally itchy. This started only yesterday, and it might be possible to have balanitis. It is recommended to go to the dermatology department of the hospital for follow-up, get diagnosed, and then use medication. Wash and change underwear frequently, eat less spicy and irritating food, and always keep the area clean and dry. The redness and swelling of the glans can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is advised to develop good living habits and have a proper diet during the treatment period.
