Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have a condition called balanitis. I would like to consult about it. How should I treat the redness and swelling of the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Redness and swelling of the foreskin after sexual intercourse. Your condition can be treated at home: gently wash the penis with warm water, using only a small amount of soap, and make sure it is thoroughly clean. Wear loose-fitting underwear. Avoid touching the penis for 1-2 weeks to give it time to rest, and it will gradually improve. While cleaning and resting, you can take some anti-inflammatory medication to prevent infection. If the redness and swelling do not improve after resting, you should go to the hospital to see a doctor. In addition to treating the symptoms of foreskin redness and swelling, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for treatment to ensure good therapeutic effects.
