Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed mild redness and swelling of the penis foreskin and glans, and significant edema and severe itching of the foreskin. How should foreskin edema be treated? Where is the best place to go for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your condition, it is likely caused by phimosis. Phimosis easily traps dirt and can lead to conditions such as balanitis and urethritis. If the inflammation is not treated promptly, it may progress downward, causing a series of urinary tract diseases such as prostatitis. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the external genitalia and penis, change underwear frequently, avoid smoking, alcohol, and irritating foods, and strictly prohibit sexual activity. It is recommended that you seek timely treatment at a regular hospital and do not self-medicate to alleviate the condition. Wishing you good health. Phimosis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and also adopt a healthy lifestyle and diet during the treatment period.
