Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed mild redness and swelling of the foreskin and glans, with significant swelling and severe itching of the foreskin. What could be the cause of the redness and swelling of the foreskin? How should it be treated? What are the symptoms of no foreskin redness?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it appears to be balanoposthitis. To confirm the cause, it is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for follow-up. The main symptoms of balanoposthitis include redness and swelling of the foreskin and glans, burning pain, relief during urination, and purulent discharge from the meatus of the foreskin. If the foreskin is moved, it can be seen that the inner foreskin and glans are congested, swollen, and in severe cases, may have shallow ulcers or erosion, showing purulent discharge.Since the information you provided is limited, it is currently impossible to speculate on the specific cause. Treatment methods cannot be arbitrarily suggested, as we cannot guarantee that the methods that work for others will also work for you. It is still recommended that you visit a hospital for follow-up. Balanoposthitis can be cured, but the treatment cycle is generally long.
