Patient's question:
I am 45 years old this year. I used Yishen Zhuangyang Gao a few days ago, but today I found that my foreskin is swollen. Instead of seeing the effect of the medicine, it caused the swelling of the foreskin, which is really a bit of bad luck. Hello, what should I do if the swelling of the foreskin is triggered after using Yishen Zhuangyang Gao?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is likely that your condition is caused by the skin of the foreskin being incompatible with the Yishen Zhuangyang ointment or an allergic reaction to the ointment. First, you should immediately stop using this ointment, clean it thoroughly with water, and use a diluted potassium permanganate solution for fumigation. Apply cold compresses to the affected area, but be careful with the temperature—ensure it is not too cold. You can apply a corticosteroid cream to the affected area. At the same time, make sure to rest and avoid exercise. Wear loose underwear to prevent friction. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Avoid sexual activity until the condition is fully healed. If the symptoms do not improve or worsen, you should seek follow-up treatment at a regular hospital's urology department.
