Patient's question:
Continuous high fever has occurred, and I am particularly afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed that my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. Please ask: What are the hazards caused by foreskin edema?Doctor's answer:
If excessive sexual stimulation occurs in a short period, it may lead to poor venous drainage, causing the reoccurrence of foreskin edema. This condition usually subsides naturally, but preventive measures should be taken to avoid the recurrence of phimosis, where the foreskin swells and traps the glans. The primary prevention method is to ensure the foreskin is returned to its normal position as much as possible.If the foreskin edema is caused by an infection during sexual activity, leading to inflammation of the foreskin and glans, it is recommended to seek further examination and treatment at a professional urological hospital. The underlying cause of foreskin edema is usually excessive foreskin, so surgical treatment is the best option. For individuals with foreskin issues, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
