Patient's question:
The foreskin is quite long, with some redness, swelling, and pain, which has lasted for about 2 days. What are the causes of foreskin adhesion?Doctor's answer:
This should be a symptom caused by infection. In severe cases, it may present with shallow small ulcers or erosion, with purulent discharge. This condition primarily requires anti-inflammatory treatment, with erythromycin and gentamicin being the drugs of choice. For trichomoniasis-induced balanitis, metronidazole is the drug of choice. For Candida-induced balanitis, itraconazole or griseofulvin is commonly used for treatment. In addition to timely treatment for balanoposthitis, patients also need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
