Patient's question:
The condition is quite serious. Could you please tell me what causes the redness and swelling of the glans?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this may be a symptom of balanitis. It is due to poor hygiene, which may be a local infection. It is recommended to take oral antibiotics and apply mupirocin ointment externally for treatment. If the prepuce is too long, it should be surgically removed. You must have the prepuce removed after the infection is suppressed, otherwise, the balanitis will be difficult to cure and prone to recurring. Prevention is entirely possible. Pay attention to maintaining good hygiene habits. The redness and swelling of the glans can be recovered, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is easy to relapse after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay more attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
