Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that blisters of varying sizes have also appeared, and they are getting more and more. This situation doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: What causes foreskin edema?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is considered to be a case of phimosis edema. The causes may include phimosis, poor hygiene of the external genitalia, indirect transmission, sexual intercourse, or sexual activity, which can lead to impaired venous drainage of the penis and subsequently result in phimosis edema. It is recommended that you pay attention to hygiene, cease sexual intercourse or sexual activity, and carefully monitor the symptoms. If the symptoms do not improve, seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment by healthcare professionals. After the symptoms subside, consider undergoing a circumcision procedure. Phimosis-related conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to visit a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, maintain a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
