What are the causes of a red and swollen glans?

Patient's question:

The glans is red and swollen with discharge. What disease is it and what causes it?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you described, recurrent inflammation and infection around the genital area causing edema, as well as personal hygiene issues, can be addressed through some adjustments. My advice is that you can appropriately focus on personal hygiene, such as washing with warm water or using anti-inflammatory medication like cephalexin to prevent unhygienic practices. The redness and swelling of the glans can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene. I hope the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
