Patient's question:
I'm only 35 years old this year, and I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I noticed some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be similar to balanitis. Is it serious? Will there be any problems? Please ask: What are the common factors that cause foreskin edema?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent swelling of the foreskin is often caused by balanoposthitis. It may also be related to sexual activity. Excessive friction on the foreskin can easily lead to swelling again. Avoid spicy and irritating foods for a while. If you have phimosis, seek medical attention for a circumcision as soon as symptoms subside. Maintain cleanliness and dryness in the genital area. Change underwear frequently and wear loose, breathable cotton underwear. Avoid high-risk sexual behaviors. The foreskin can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medication must be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should follow a light diet, avoid irritating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
