Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:And I have been married to my wife for many years. We haven't used any contraception, but we haven't gotten pregnant. We only found out after checking at the hospital. How should I deal with redness and swelling of the foreskin? There's some redness and swelling on the head of the penis, and it's a bit painful.
Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, your condition is likely caused by balanitis, which is often triggered by factors such as friction from underwear, mental trauma, or local irritation from soaps and cleaning agents. It manifests as swelling, redness, discharge, and erosion. Secondary infection may lead to purulent discharge, easily forming ulcers, accompanied by pain. You can use a 3% boric acid solution or a 0.05% emodin solution for wet compresses, which may help.In addition, during the treatment of penile redness and swelling, it is crucial for the patient to not only receive timely treatment but also pay attention to their dietary habits and psychological state. The patient must avoid excessive stress and anxiety, as this could interfere with the recovery of the penile redness and swelling.
