Patient's question:
Recently, the glans penis has again shown symptoms of redness and swelling, accompanied by itching. I don't know what this is about and would like to understand what causes the redness and swelling of the glans penis?Doctor's answer:
You may have balanitis caused by smegma infection. My advice is to take oral ciprofloxacin, use a low-concentration potassium permanganate solution to clean the glans, and avoid spicy and irritating foods during treatment. The condition of redness and swelling of the glans is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, it is necessary to control sexual activity and maintain a good mood.
