Patient's question:
Hello! I noticed patches on my glans, and the colors are different. There's also a white substance around the edge of the glans that can't be washed off. Is this a sign of balanitis? If it is balanitis, what should I do if the foreskin swells?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking: During the recovery period after circumcision, discomfort in the glans penis may recur, which is a normal phenomenon. This sensation usually gradually disappears within about a week. After full recovery from the circumcision surgery, there may be mild pain and swelling at the wound site. Pain relievers should be taken regularly, and the wound typically heals completely within 7 to 10 days. The foreskin can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
