Patient's question:
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 it cause any problems? Please ask: What should I pay attention to in diet if the foreskin is swollen?Doctor's answer:
What is the reason for your balanitis edema? Is it balanitis edema after circumcision surgery? If the balanitis edema is caused by surgical reasons, it generally takes about 3 months to fully recover to normal shape. No special treatment is needed. If the swelling is severe, local cold compress or infrared irradiation of the foreskin can be applied. The condition is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment at professional and regular hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, it is necessary to restrict sexual activity and maintain a good mood. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
