Patient's question:
It has been a while, and I've noticed that my glans is particularly dry, with some flaky stuff falling off, like dandruff. It also feels itchy and painful. Is this glans inflammation? Please ask: How can I treat penile foreskin edema?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is considered to be a case of phimosis edema. The causes may include phimosis, poor hygiene of the external genitalia, indirect transmission, sexual intercourse, or sexual activity, which can lead to poor venous drainage of the penis and result in phimosis edema. It is recommended that you pay attention to hygiene, stop sexual intercourse or sexual activity, and carefully observe the symptoms. If the symptoms do not improve, seek medical attention early for examination and treatment by healthcare professionals. After the symptoms subside, consider undergoing a circumcision procedure. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
