Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I got home that night, I noticed a red ring had formed on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. At the time, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. Please ask: what are the solutions for foreskin edema?Doctor's answer:
For example, symptoms such as local redness, pain, and purulent discharge. Circumcision is a minor surgery with low risks. The most common postoperative complications include infection of the circumcision incision, recurrence of local redness, swelling, pain, or even inflammation. This is an elective surgery. If you have local foreskin edema or inflammation, it is best to wait until the edema subsides or the inflammation is controlled before undergoing the procedure. Otherwise, it may lead to local infection and poor wound healing. The condition of the foreskin tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
