Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed mild redness and swelling of the penis foreskin and glans, significant swelling of the foreskin, and severe itching. What are the symptoms of foreskin swelling and how is it treated?Doctor's answer:
Consider it to be balanitis. You can use potassium permanganate and warm water to mix it into a light pink solution, then apply it. Wash it off once in the morning and once in the evening. Additionally, you can use Boleson (a product by MSD) for 3-5 days to start seeing effects. If there's no improvement, you must immediately go to the hospital for a thorough examination.The foreskin can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it's crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment. Also, during the treatment period, it's recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
