Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed mild redness and swelling in the foreskin and glans, with significant swelling and severe itching of the foreskin. I'm asking about which anti-swelling medications can be taken after foreskin swelling occurs.Doctor's answer:
First and foremost, it is necessary to address the issue of phimosis in cases of balanitis. If there is pus discharge, phimosis and paraphimosis are present, surgical removal of the excess foreskin is required, as medication alone is not sufficient. If none of the above conditions are present, you can take Matislin or sodium aescin for treatment, or apply sodium aescin gel externally. Cold compresses and elevating the penis can also help reduce swelling. The foreskin can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
