    Glans pain after ejaculation may be related to urethritis, prostatitis, balanitis, seminal vesiculitis, excessive sexual life and other factors. It can be relieved through anti-infective treatment, local cleaning, and adjusting the frequency of sexual life.

    1. Urethritis

    Urethritis may cause glans pain after ejaculation and is usually caused by bacterial infection, accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. Levofloxacin hydrochloride tablets, cefixime dispersible tablets, azithromycin granules and other drugs can be used as directed by the doctor. It is necessary to keep the perineum clean every day and avoid holding in urine.

    2. Prostatitis

    Prostatitis may cause pain during ejaculation, which is often related to factors such as sitting for a long time and drinking alcohol. Perineal swelling and pain may occur. Treatment options include Qianlieshutong capsules, tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained-release capsules, Longqing tablets and other drugs. It is recommended to avoid spicy food and ejaculate regularly.

    3. Balanitis

    Excessive foreskin or poor hygiene can easily induce inflammation, manifested as redness and swelling of the glans and increased secretions. Erythromycin ointment, clotrimazole cream, compound ketoconazole ointment and other topical medications can be used. Clean smegma daily. In severe cases, circumcision may be considered.

    4. Seminal vesiculitis

    Seminal vesiculitis may cause dull pain after ejaculation, often accompanied by hematospermia. May be related to the spread of urinary tract infection. Treatment requires antibiotics such as cefdinir capsules and moxifloxacin hydrochloride tablets. Drinking alcohol and strenuous exercise are prohibited during this period.

    5. Excessive sex life

    Frequent sexual intercourse or masturbation may cause mechanical damage to the glans mucosa, causing temporary pain. It is recommended to control the frequency of sexual intercourse and use lubricants to reduce friction. If pain persists, organic disease must be ruled out.

    If you experience glans pain after ejaculation, you should avoid self-medication and seek urological examination promptly. Pay attention to keeping the perineum ventilated and dry every day, choose cotton underwear, and avoid riding for long periods of time. Eat a light diet, drink plenty of water to promote metabolism, and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. Moderate exercise enhances physical fitness, but avoid strenuous exercise that aggravates symptoms. If symptoms recur or are accompanied by fever, hematuria, etc., immediate medical attention is required.
