What are the reasons for redness, swelling, and itching of the foreskin?

Patient's question:

Recently, a particularly awkward situation happened again. My foreskin became red, swollen, and itchy. I'm quite puzzled because I'm usually very careful about genital hygiene, so I'd like to ask the doctor for help to speculate and clarify the reasons for the redness, swelling, and itching of the foreskin. What treatments should be implemented?

Doctor's answer:

It might be due to excessive foreskin or negligence in sexual activity. This condition should be addressed early. You can visit a reputable urological clinic for a comprehensive examination of the reproductive organs. Based on the examination results, take antiviral and anti-inflammatory medications, and apply some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ointments. Pay attention to local hygiene, wash with warm water daily, and change underwear promptly. Expose the clothes to sunlight to help kill germs. Additionally, for patients with red and swollen foreskin, their diet and care during treatment are also very important. Patients must supplement with vitamins, prevent stomach issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above information helps you. Thank you.
