Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed mild redness and swelling of the penis foreskin and glans, with significant edema and severe itching of the foreskin. Is there a treatment available for foreskin redness and swelling?Doctor's answer:
Penile redness and swelling are usually caused by inflammation, which can be triggered by bacterial infections or mechanical irritation. It is recommended to apply an antibiotic ointment and wear loose, soft, and clean underwear to prevent further irritation. The swelling symptoms will gradually improve. The condition of the penis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital for examination and treatment based on the results. Additionally, maintain a proper diet and avoid sexual activity. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
