How to treat redness and swelling of the glans and foreskin

Patient's question:

The glans and foreskin are swollen and red, urination is painful. The glans and foreskin have been treated with erythromycin ointment in combination with povidone-iodine sterilization.

Doctor's answer:

It's clear that you have balanoposthitis, with a narrowed preputial orifice, obvious ulcers, and signs of infection. You need to start with anti-inflammatory treatment first. Once the inflammation subsides, you should schedule a circumcision. Pay attention to hygiene in daily life, so it won't happen again in the future. In your case, you may need to take some anti-inflammatory medication or get an anti-inflammatory injection. Besides treating the redness and swelling of the penis promptly, you should always maintain a positive attitude when facing the disease.
