Patient's question:
What causes the redness and swelling of the glans?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it should be the symptoms of balanitis. The basic principles of treatment are anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. Generally, it involves both internal and external treatment. For the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and annular purulent balanitis, erythromycin and tetracycline are the first-line choices. For trichomoniasis balanitis, metronidazole is the preferred treatment. For balanitis caused by Candida albicans, it is commonly treated with griseofulvin or itraconazole. Redness and swelling of the glans can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use drugs that match the symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
