Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed mild redness and swelling of the foreskin and glans, significant swelling of the foreskin, and severe itching. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of foreskin adhesion?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis and balanitis are characterized by redness, swelling, exudation, and even re-adhesion of the foreskin and glans. Phimosis and balanitis are most commonly caused by excessive foreskin, leading to the accumulation of smegma and bacterial growth, which results in inflammation. It is recommended to take oral or topical antibiotics. If the foreskin is excessively long, surgical removal of the excess foreskin may be necessary. Phimosis and balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
