Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed mild redness and swelling of the foreskin and glans, significant foreskin edema, and severe itching. How should I treat foreskin edema?Doctor's answer:
Initial judgment suggests it may be caused by balanitis. The main reason is due to excessive foreskin, which creates a moist environment that is the best breeding ground for bacteria. It is recommended to undergo circumcision as soon as possible, after which the symptoms will naturally disappear. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
