Patient's question:
Today when I was using the toilet, I noticed some redness and swelling on my glans. I'm wondering, what should I do if the foreskin can't be retracted due to the redness and swelling?Doctor's answer:
The above condition is often caused by local friction irritation. Proper symptomatic treatment can improve it. Appropriate local potassium permanganate solution can be used for cleaning. Generally, it will gradually return to normal after relieving for one or two days. The redness and swelling of the glans can be recovered. However, the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should have a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
