Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed mild redness and swelling of the penis foreskin and glans, with significant swelling of the foreskin and severe itching. What methods can be used to treat this? What is the cause of the foreskin swelling, and how should the treatment be carried out?Doctor's answer:
This penile swelling on the other hand may be due to poor blood circulation, or it could be caused by inflammation, which may manifest as redness and pain. This has nothing to do with prostatitis. If you are concerned about prostatitis, you should have a thorough examination of the prostatic fluid. Generally, penile and glans inflammation can be treated with solutions for washing and applying anti-inflammatory creams. Additionally, frequent bathing and changing underwear are recommended. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. The condition of the foreskin tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
