Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a lot of pain in my testicles, and this week I've also had a fever. Usually, I feel cold, and when I take a bath, I notice that my testicles seem to contain a lot of liquid. Please ask: How should I treat foreskin edema?Doctor's answer:
This situation requires maintaining local cleanliness at all times to prevent secondary infection. Sterilize the area with povidone-iodine; oral antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin are used for treatment. If the inflammation recurs frequently or interferes with erection, surgical treatment should be considered. Surgical treatment is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes about 15 minutes to complete. Circumcision can alleviate the condition, but the treatment duration is generally long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, proper medication, and avoiding prolonged sitting or riding are essential. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
