Severe foreskin edema with normal erection, how to treat

Patient's question:

Hello, I have excessive foreskin. When erect, there is a string connecting the glans, and it hurts when pulled down. I want to learn about it. If the foreskin is severely swollen but erection is normal, how is it treated?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it is primarily considered to be mucosal edema caused by excessive friction, the possibility of subcutaneous skin tearing due to a foreskin bruise, or local inflammation induced by excessive sexual activity. It is recommended to temporarily cease sexual activity, maintain good hygiene for the genital area, and pay attention to rest. This should not be a problem. Gently clean the area a few times. If symptoms worsen, seek medical attention promptly. After the inflammation subsides, you can undergo a circumcision procedure at the hospital.
