Patient's question:
A 39-year-old man, who had a slight fever last week and then felt tired and sleepy, found a red ring on his glans when he got home at night, with some bleeding. He went to the hospital at the time, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. Please ask: what's the reason for the swelling of the foreskin since the day before yesterday?Doctor's answer:
Postoperative foreskin edema is a common condition and there is no need to be anxious. Pay attention to anti-infection and sterilize the incision area promptly. During the recovery period, avoid spicy and irritating foods, alcohol, and wear loose clothing to prevent irritation to the genital area. Do not hold back urine, as these measures will promote the smooth healing of the incision.Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, consume light and soft foods in daily diet, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water to prevent the condition from recurring.
