What is the situation when the penis foreskin swells?

Patient's question:

Male, 36 years old, I got a physical examination last week and found balanitis. It seems to be getting worse recently, with some bleeding and discharge, and it looks like there are also blisters. Is the condition serious? Please ask: What is the situation when the foreskin of the penis swells?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your symptoms, it is considered that there may be an infectious phenomenon or the cause is balanitis. It is recommended that you first use some sterilizing solutions for external washing, which can help reduce inflammation and swelling. When cleaning, make sure to retract the foreskin. If necessary, it is advisable to visit a hospital for a circumcision procedure. Excessive foreskin creates a moist environment, which is the best place for bacteria to thrive.
Finally, during the treatment period, patients need to follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
