Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they've started to hurt more, especially when touched, and it feels particularly intense. It seems there's also some swelling on the other side. I'm very worried. Could you please advise on the best treatment for foreskin edema?Doctor's answer:
Recurring swelling is usually a sign of renewed inflammation at the wound. If it's particularly severe, you may need to get an anti-inflammatory injection. If it's not too serious, you can apply erythromycin ointment to the wound using cotton swabs. It generally takes only two or three days to heal, but in more severe cases, the recovery time will be much longer. If you haven't re-bandaged the wound with gauze again, I recommend using medical gauze for a simple re-bandage to prevent the ointment from getting everywhere in your underwear. Conditions related to the foreskin tend to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it's important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital promptly, and treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it's advisable to abstain from sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
