Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I got home at night, I noticed a ring of redness on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. At the time, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. I would like to ask: What are the daily care measures for red and swollen foreskin?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the redness, swelling, and itching of the foreskin are typical symptoms of balanitis. It is recommended that you use an external moisturizing, anti-swelling, and pain-relieving lotion, and take fluconazole tablets orally for treatment. The effect is quite good. It is essential to pay attention to personal hygiene, and you should wash before and after sexual activity. If your partner has vaginitis, she also needs to be treated together. During the treatment period, avoid sexual activity. For patients with foreskin conditions, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect your health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene. I wish you a speedy recovery.
