Patient's question:
Penis head is swollen and red, with exudate, and it rubs against the underwear when walking, which is very painful. What should I do about a swollen and exudative penis head?Doctor's answer:
The glans is red and swollen due to the expansion and fibrosis of blood vessels within the glans, causing redness and swelling. This can be diagnosed by a doctor upon careful examination. In most cases, it is caused by balanitis triggered by unsafe sexual intercourse. Treatment typically involves using Jieryin for cleaning, followed by medication such as Biclotym and levofloxacin intravenous infusion for anti-inflammatory treatment, which will gradually improve. Glans redness and swelling can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, it is essential to use medications appropriately during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to develop good lifestyle habits and maintain a balanced diet during the treatment period.
