Patient's question:
Hello! I noticed patches on my glans with different colors, and there's a ring of white substance around the edge of the glans that can't be washed off. Is this a sign of balanitis? If it is balanitis, how do I treat the swelling of the foreskin without a clear cause?Doctor's answer:
Hypospadias requires circumcision treatment, and postoperative swelling is very common. Applying cold compresses with menthol is acceptable, but be careful not to burn the skin.Recommendation: Postoperative swelling is very common, so please don’t panic. You can use anti-swelling and pain-relieving medications. Cold compress treatment is best for less than 30 minutes.
The condition of the foreskin is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it’s important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital as soon as possible. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, avoid sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
