Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed mild redness and swelling of the foreskin and glans, with significant foreskin edema and severe itching. After the foreskin surgery, I found that the foreskin is swollen. I would like to ask if this is a normal phenomenon? What should I do about foreskin edema? Is it normal?Doctor's answer:
A good urology hospital. There are two types of phimosis edema. One is that if the frequency of sexual activity is high in a short period, the intensity is significantly affected, or the sexual activity duration is long, it may cause phimosis edema again due to poor venous return. This situation is often discovered after sexual activity and will naturally subside. However, prevention is necessary to avoid phimosis entrapment caused by phimosis edema, which is when the phimosis edema traps the glans. The main prevention method is to try to return the phimosis to its normal position. The method involves using a warm towel to (fū) to speed up blood circulation, then wrapping the penis with a ring and pressing the glans down with the thumb until it is inside the phimosis. Pressing it many times will help reduce swelling.
