Patient's question:
I am only 24 years old this year, and I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I noticed some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be balanitis. Is it serious? Will there be any problems? Please ask: Where can I get effective treatment for red and swollen foreskin?Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of red and swollen foreskin is balanitis, which is often due to neglecting to clean the inner foreskin. When this occurs, it is necessary to pay attention to the hygiene of the inner foreskin and ensure it is thoroughly cleaned during each bath. Additionally, oral antibiotics can be taken for treatment. If phimosis prevents the foreskin from retracting, circumcision may be required to completely resolve the issue of balanitis. The condition of the foreskin tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Furthermore, it is necessary to limit sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
