What is the cause of the swelling of the glans?

The glans of a man is very important to him. If there is a problem with the glans of a man, not only will the urethra become red and swollen when urinating, but it may also be insensitive during sexual intercourse. In addition, the foreskin of a man plays a protective role for the glans. If the foreskin of a man is too long, it is likely to harbor dirt and filth, causing the glans of a man to become red and swollen. So what should you do if the skin of the glans is swollen?

The glans and foreskin are red and swollen, which is a typical case of balanitis. There are many different types of balanitis, and the treatment methods are different. Since the treatment effect is not good after such a long time, it is recommended that you do a secretion test to make a clear diagnosis and determine which type of balanitis it is. If the examination is bacterial balanitis, you can use iodine to scrub and potassium permanganate to soak.

If the examination shows fungal balanitis, you can apply clotrimazole ointment. If the examination shows fungal infection, you can apply compound ketoconazole ointment. In addition, you should drink more water, eat more fruits, wash regularly, do not wear tight underwear, and keep dry, which will help recovery.

It is considered to be balanoposthitis. Long foreskin, low immunity, cross infection, indirect transmission, etc. may cause infection. If balanoposthitis is not treated in time, it is easy to spread to the urethra, prostate and other parts to cause inflammation, increasing the difficulty of treatment. It is recommended to go to the reproductive infection department of the hospital to find out the cause.
