Patient's question:
Urology, treatment for red and swollen foreskin. What methods can solve this? It has been troubling me for a long time, and I feel uncomfortable mentally. Seeking a solution.Doctor's answer:
The condition you described is a manifestation of balanoposthitis. It can be infectious or non-infectious, and in clinical diagnosis, infectious balanoposthitis is more common. Non-infectious factors are often due to excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, and the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, which can lead to recurrent inflammation of the local foreskin and mucosa. It is recommended to undergo timely and thorough examination and treatment to prevent the pathogen from spreading backward to the urethra, prostate, and other areas. If you have any concerns, please feel free to consult.In addition, during the treatment of balanitis (inflammation of the glans), in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and mental state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a positive mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of the balanitis.
