Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed mild redness and swelling of the foreskin and glans, significant foreskin edema and severe itching. Can phimosis be the cause? Which medications can be used?Doctor's answer:
Currently, medication has no effect on excessive foreskin, and surgery to remove the excess foreskin is required. Otherwise, this can easily affect sexual function and may lead to balanitis. It is recommended that after surgery, rest should be paid attention to, avoiding prolonged standing or sitting, wearing loose underwear, and keeping the wound clean with sterile gauze; otherwise, the foreskin can recover when the penis is erect, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
