Doctor's answer:
Hello, the factors causing a swollen and painful glans may include one possibility of balanitis, which could be related to poor hygiene or tight underwear causing friction. On the other hand, it may be due to prostatitis. It is recommended to maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia, bathe frequently, change underwear often, and wash underwear separately. It is best to avoid tight clothing to reduce friction. Additionally, it is advised to have a check-up for routine prostatic fluid examination to rule out prostatitis. Currently, it is recommended to take azithromycin orally. Treatment should be carried out after examination at the hospital. Pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, surgical treatment should be considered early to avoid unsafe sexual practices. Clothing should be loose, and a diet avoiding spicy and irritating foods is recommended.
