Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed mild redness and swelling of the foreskin and glans, with significant edema and severe itching of the foreskin. What methods can be used to treat this? What is the cause of the foreskin edema, and how should the treatment be carried out?Doctor's answer:
This penile swelling may, on the one hand, be due to poor blood circulation, and on the other hand, it may be caused by inflammation, with symptoms such as redness and pain. This has nothing to do with prostatitis. If you are concerned about prostatitis, you should have a thorough examination of the prostatic fluid. In general, penile and glans inflammation can be treated with solution washing and applying anti-inflammatory ointments. Additionally, frequent bathing and changing underwear are recommended. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. The condition of the foreskin tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
