Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and it's very red and wrinkled. Lately, when I urinate, there's always white discharge coming out, and it's itchy. I went to see a doctor and they said it's glans inflammation. Please ask: What is the definition of foreskin edema?Doctor's answer:
Do you have any other symptoms besides these? For example, local redness, pain, or purulent discharge. How long have you had swelling of the foreskin? Circumcision is a minor surgery with minimal risks. The most common postoperative complications are infections at the foreskin incision, recurrence of local redness, swelling, pain, or even inflammation. This is an elective surgery. If you have local foreskin swelling or inflammation, it's best to wait until the swelling subsides or the inflammation is controlled before undergoing the surgery. Otherwise, it may lead to local infection and poor wound healing. The condition of the foreskin tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
