Patient's question:
When taking a shower at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and the head of my penis seemed a bit wrinkled and red. Recently, I also found that I wasn't urinating smoothly. After checking at the hospital, they said it was balanitis. Please ask: What methods can help relieve the redness and swelling of the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Hello; According to your condition, this may be due to balanitis, infectious conditions of the prepuce, and recurring local discomfort. In daily life, it is important to prevent excessive irritation to the local skin and maintain cleanliness of the skin at all times. Antibiotic medication should be administered, and hygiene of the perineum should be maintained for patients with prepuce issues. Timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition, while delayed treatment may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
