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. How should I treat the redness, swelling, cracks, and itching of the foreskin? How should I treat the redness, swelling, cracks, and itching of the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
In such cases, the primary cause leading to the current problem is mainly considered to be related to the issue of balanoposthitis. For this problem, it is advisable to actively seek a detailed examination at the urology department of a hospital. If inflammation is diagnosed, it is essential to pay attention to early anti-inflammatory treatment. The foreskin can be sterilized with povidone-iodine solution for treatment, and it can recover. However, the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
