Patient's question:
I have had this disease for a long time. The doctor recommended surgery. How should I treat the redness and swelling of the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Considering it might be balanitis, it is recommended to take metronidazole orally, apply fluconazole ointment externally, and simultaneously use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is advised to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. In fact, having red and swollen foreskin is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovery are very high.
