Patient's question:
What kind of medicine is good for red and swollen glans?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on your description of symptoms, it may be balanitis, which could be related to excessive masturbation or bacterial infection, among other factors. You can soak the affected area with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, then apply erythromycin ointment locally, and take anti-inflammatory medication to suppress inflammation. Always maintain good local hygiene, avoid friction, apply medication on schedule, and strive to quickly control the infection. Avoid seafood, spicy foods, alcohol, drink more water, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Balanitis with redness and swelling can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment.
