Patient's question:
The glans is noticeably swollen with no other symptoms, and it has reappeared again. I just want to ask the doctor how to treat it to make it better. I'm very worried about what I should do if it's not treated properly.Doctor's answer:
The redness and swelling of the glans may be caused by glans inflammation. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as itching. You can use boric acid solution or potassium permanganate tablets mixed with water to externally wash the glans. If the redness and swelling worsen, you can also apply erythromycin ointment. The redness and swelling of the glans can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
