Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and they are particularly red and wrinkled. Lately, when I urinate, there is always a white discharge coming out, and it's itchy. I went to see a doctor and they said it's balanitis. Please ask: How is it best to treat foreskin edema?Doctor's answer:
Erythema of the prepuce is generally commonly caused by inflammation and poor drainage. Local hygiene cleaning, uploading symptoms, and urological examination can be performed. Anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling medications should be used for observation. It is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain a light and digestible diet rich in vitamins, practice local hygiene cleaning, apply cold compresses and physical therapy, and use plantain extract tablets for treatment and observation. For patients with prepuce conditions, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
