Patient's question:
My husband has recently been experiencing discomfort in his lower body. After being examined at the hospital, he was diagnosed with an illness. Seeing him often in pain makes me very worried. Could you please ask the doctor, how is it best to treat the redness and swelling of the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
What are the methods for treating red and swollen foreskin? Red and swollen foreskin is caused by balanoposthitis. When men have excessive foreskin, it is often due to insufficient hygiene, allowing dirty substances between the foreskin and glans to accumulate as smegma over a long period. This creates a favorable environment for bacteria to grow, leading to the infection and recurrence of red and swollen foreskin. Red and swollen foreskin is an early symptom of balanoposthitis, so if you experience this condition, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly to avoid missing the opportunity for treatment. Wishing you good health. The condition of the foreskin tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
