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. I am asking, what medications can be taken to reduce swelling after foreskin edema?Doctor's answer:
First, it is necessary to address the issue of phimosis to treat foreskin edema. If there is pus discharge, phimosis and paraphimosis are present, surgical removal of the excess foreskin may be required, as medication alone is not sufficient. If none of the above conditions are present, you can take Maitingling or sodium aescin for treatment, or apply aescin gel externally. Cold compresses and elevating the penis can also help reduce swelling. The foreskin can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
