Patient's question:
A 36-year-old man discovered a white ring around the edge of his glans while taking a shower at night. It seemed a bit wrinkled and red. Recently, he also found that urination was not smooth. After checking at the hospital, he was diagnosed with balanitis. Now, he is asking: What should he do if the foreskin becomes red and swollen after using a wash solution?Doctor's answer:
Excessive foreskin requires circumcision treatment, and postoperative swelling is very common. Applying cold compress with menthol is acceptable, but be careful not to burn the skin. It is recommended that postoperative swelling is very common, so please do not panic. Medications for reducing swelling and pain can be used. Cold compress treatment is best for less than 30 minutes.There are many methods for treating diseases, but since patients' conditions vary, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, patients need to seek professional medical help as soon as possible for detailed examinations to prescribe the correct treatment.
