Patient's question:
A 36-year-old male, I noticed some bubbles on my glans that look like they're filled with air, and it's red and swollen. The hospital examination said it's balanitis. I haven't done anything unusual, but how did I get this condition? Please ask: How should I handle penile foreskin edema appropriately?Doctor's answer:
The penis foreskin may become swollen due to inflammation. If a circumcision has been performed, swelling may reoccur as well, and recovery requires time. If no circumcision surgery has been done, a liquid solution can be used for cleaning. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to daily hygiene of the genital area, strictly avoid sexual activity, and maintain regular sleep patterns. Patients should also take measures to prevent cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water to prevent the condition from recurring.
