Patient's question:
I have been experiencing problems with my glans since last month. It's red and swollen, and I feel intense pain during intercourse. Recently, I haven't been engaging in that activity much. I have taken some medication for treatment, but it only alleviates the symptoms and hasn't cured the issue. What could be causing the redness and swelling of the male glans?Doctor's answer:
The redness and swelling of the male glans indicate poor hygiene and inflammation. However, the specific type is currently uncertain—it could be a bacterial infection or simply due to inadequate personal hygiene. It is necessary to pay attention to cleaning the glans thoroughly and then use some ointments in conjunction. If it recurs repeatedly over a long period, further examination for mycoplasma and chlamydia infections may be required. In addition to standard treatment for the redness and swelling of the glans, patients should also focus on dietary aspects, such as eating a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.
