Patient's question:
How to treat foreskin edema most effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the main reasons for balanitis (penile swelling) are as follows:1. Balanoposthitis, which can be caused by unclean sexual activity and phimosis.
2. Infection with Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, or other bacteria.
3. Due to phimosis and insufficient hygiene, dirty substances (smegma) between the foreskin and glans may accumulate, irritating the foreskin and mucosa and causing recurrent inflammation.
Individuals with phimosis may undergo circumcision to remove the foreskin, which helps with hygiene, health, and development. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication.
