Patient's question:
The glans is slightly red and swollen, with a sense of pain. What could be the reason? Is it due to hot weather, or something like glans inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Dear patient, it is a pleasure to clarify your doubts. If you experience pain along with color voltage, this should be considered a possible diagnosis of balanitis. This condition tends to recur more frequently in hot summer weather. What you need to pay attention to is maintaining good local hygiene. You should regularly retract your foreskin, clean it a few times a day, and drink plenty of water. If the pain persists, you may also consider taking broad-spectrum antibiotics orally, such as cephalosporins. The redness and swelling of the glans can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications appropriately during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
