Patient's question:
The glans has been red and swollen on and off for many years. There has been frequent urination and urgency, and premature ejaculation has never been normal. After urination, there is a slight sensation of pain with a few drops of viscous fluid leaking out. Six months ago, a mycoplasma test was done, which showed nothing. Later, a prostate examination and a detailed urinalysis were conducted multiple times, but no symptoms were found. A prostatic fluid test revealed 1-2 white blood cells, and it was diagnosed as aseptic prostatitis. Then, I took Doppler An capsules and minocycline capsules for over two weeks. During this period, there was no fluid leakage after urination. Ily bought some prostate medication and took it, but then stopped after a while. Then a few days ago, I don't know why the glans became red, swollen, hot, and itchy. Soaking in potassium permanganate didn't help. After three or four days, I bought some ointment to apply and took some azithromycin and levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules.Doctor's answer:
It may be due to the possibility of a urinary tract infection that could lead to such symptoms. It is important to use antibiotic medications promptly for inflammation, such as cephalexin, or they can be combined for treatment. This can better control the symptoms of a urinary tract infection. The redness and swelling of the glans can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications that are appropriate for the symptoms during treatment. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is recommended to maintain good lifestyle habits and have a proper diet.
