Patient's question:
The foreskin of the prepuce was torn open, and there was some bleeding. Why hasn't it grown back? It's all better now, but I've been too afraid to go to the hospital. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to maintain a dry environment during sexual activity, and timely povidone-iodine wiping is sufficient. Additionally, gentle friction and caressing may be necessary. If the skin is broken, timely anti-inflammatory ointment application is required. Commonly, Yunnan Baiyao can be used for treatment, while generally, erythromycin ointment can be applied for anti-inflammatory purposes. For patients with phimosis or paraphimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
