Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed mild redness and swelling of the penis foreskin and glans, significant swelling of the foreskin, and severe itching. How should the foreskin swelling be treated?Doctor's answer:
Initial judgment suggests it may be caused by balanitis. The main reason is due to excessive foreskin, which creates a moist environment that is the best breeding ground for bacteria. It is recommended to consider early circumcision, as the symptoms will naturally disappear after the surgery. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
