Patient's question:
While taking a shower at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and it seemed a bit wrinkled and red. Recently, I also found that I wasn't urinating smoothly. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was balanitis. I'm asking: How should I treat the redness and swelling of the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, I believe the condition you are dealing with, such as phimosis and inflammation, is often caused by local infections.!According to your situation, I suggest you drink more water, get more rest, maintain local hygiene, and enhance local care. Use antibiotics in sufficient and standardized amounts for anti-inflammatory treatment. The condition of phimosis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, for male patients, it is important to immediately seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
