Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable for a long time. Could you please tell me what causes the redness, swelling, and itching of the glans?Doctor's answer:
It is suspected that you may have balanitis, which could be related to poor hygiene and phimosis. It is recommended that you pay attention to hygiene and use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning, followed by applying ointment, such as tetracycline ointment for treatment. If the condition frequently recurs, consider undergoing circumcision. For patients with red and swollen glans, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and avoid overexertion in daily life while maintaining good personal hygiene.
