Patient's question:
My foreskin is too long, and it hurts. I may not have taken good care of it properly, and the inflammation is getting bigger and bigger, very painful, and it's also swollen. I'm very anxious, and it's getting more and more swollen day by day. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis, also known as balanitis, is caused by multiple factors, such as local physical stimuli like mental trauma, friction, contraceptive devices, detergents, urine, etc., phimosis, paraphimosis, irritation from smegma, various infections such as bacteria, fungi, amoebas, and trichomonads, and drug allergies. It is recommended to visit the urology outpatient department of a government-run People's Hospital in a timely manner. The doctor will conduct necessary tests and examinations, combined with medical history, to identify and diagnose the condition while ruling out related diseases. The key is to confirm the diagnosis and exclude treatments that are not suitable for medication. Then, based on the condition, a targeted treatment plan can be determined.
