What to do if the glans penis is red and swollen? Paying attention to hygiene is the key

If you find that the glans penis is red and swollen, it may be inflamed. At this time, you should take a shower, clean the glans penis, and then put on clean underwear to see if the symptoms improve. If there is no improvement for a long time, you need to see a doctor.

1. First of all, if the glans is inflamed, you should change and wash your underwear frequently. It may be caused by the circumcision being too long. It is recommended to wash it with hot water. If it doesn't work, go to the hospital for a circumcision surgery.

2. It is possible that you do not pay attention to hygiene, which causes bacteria in the foreskin to grow and cause inflammation. When taking a bath, clean the inside of the glans.

3. Diseases caused by smegma. The dirty substances between the foreskin and the glans penis accumulate to form smegma, which irritates the surface mucosa of the foreskin and causes inflammation and swelling.

4. If the above situation has not improved, go to the hospital for a check-up to see what the problem is. If it is not serious, wash it frequently with salt water to keep the glans clean.

5. The underwear may be too tight, causing the friction between the glans and the underwear, breeding bacteria and causing the glans to become red and swollen. It is recommended to wear looser underwear.

6. If you have redness, swelling and inflammation, go to the hospital and buy some dermatitis medicine. Drink it for 7 days and your condition will improve. It is not a serious illness, but is caused by unhygienic conditions.

7. According to the description of the symptoms, first consider balanitis, which can be divided into infectious and non-infectious. Infectious is more common in clinical practice, mainly caused by Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Mycoplasma and Chlamydia and other bacteria. Non-infectious is caused by excessive foreskin. At present, I don’t know what kind of infection you have. It is recommended that you go to the hospital in time for relevant examinations, clarify the cause, and treat the symptoms. If it is caused by long-term accumulation of smegma caused by excessive foreskin, long-term stimulation of local skin and mucous membranes, it is recommended that you undergo circumcision as soon as possible. In addition, pay attention to keeping the local hygiene clean and drink plenty of water. I wish you a speedy recovery!
