Patient's question:
Where are the hospitals that treat the foreskin? What are the symptoms of foreskin edema? It's quite worrying when this happens, and you want the condition to improve through treatment.Doctor's answer:
Common phimatocele edema, characterized by translucent swelling, naturally subsides within 2-3 days. This is a recurrent vascular neurogenic edema in the glans. Phimatocele edema, similar to urticaria, is an acute allergic reaction of the glans to food, drugs, or insect bites. It may occur solely on the glans or concurrently with urticaria. Children are prone to phimatocele edema, presenting as highly swollen and shiny foreskin, resembling large blisters. However, it does not affect urination. This condition often occurs at night, with minimal itching and no systemic discomfort, and may resolve on its own within several months. The diagnosis of phimatocele edema is straightforward, and treatment is also relatively easy. Locally, it is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness of the glans and foreskin. Phimatocele edema is generally believed to be an allergic reaction. Due to its pathophysiology being similar to urticaria, it is also referred to as giant urticaria.
