Patient's question:
I have some pain and discomfort due to the recent sexual activity, and my penis has become a bit hard and swollen. I'm asking how to treat the redness, swelling, and pain in my foreskin.Doctor's answer:
If the foreskin is red and swollen, along with edema, it may indicate a symptom of balanoposthitis. If the foreskin is excessively long, sexual intercourse can easily cause swelling, leading to this redness and pain. In such cases, you can first use a disinfectant to sterilize the area. At the same time, check if there is any sign of phimosis, which may be causing the issue. If phimosis is present, it is important to promptly perform a foreskin reduction procedure. Additionally, it is advisable to exercise more regularly to boost your immune system and appropriately control sexual activity to aid in a faster recovery.
