What is the reason for the redness and slight pain of the glans?

Patient's question:

After ejaculation, the glans becomes red and swollen, and the penis feels slightly painful. By the third day, it's back to normal. The only thing is that the semen is very viscous and looks like it has particles in it. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Mainly, it is caused by balanitis. If sexual activity is excessive, it may also lead to such a condition. You should try to use medication promptly for inflammation. This is mostly related to prostatitis. Daily, personal hygiene care must be maintained, and rest and diet should be paid attention to. During this period, sexual activity should be avoided. Balanitis with redness and swelling can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow and prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment and appropriate medication are essential.
