Patient's question:
When taking a shower at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and the head of my penis seemed a bit wrinkled and red. Recently, I also found that I wasn't urinating smoothly. After checking at the hospital, they said it was balanitis. Please ask: What are the complications of foreskin edema?Doctor's answer:
The cause of penile edema is due to the severing of venous blood vessels during surgery, leading to blood flowing into the venous system. Complete re-establishment of blood flow through the venous system is the only way to fundamentally resolve the edema issue. In treatment, a low-concentration potassium permanganate solution can be used to wipe the affected area. Additionally, a magnesium sulfate solution can also be used to wipe the affected area. Both methods can help alleviate edema. For patients with penile issues, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
